A Neon branch per preview deployment
Preview deploys that share the production database corrupt it or lie to you. Give every preview its own copy-on-write Neon branch, wired to the deployment's environment variables.

Neon cold starts, where the half second goes and what to do about it
Scale-to-zero means an idle branch takes roughly 500 ms to wake, and a serverless function adds its own cold start on top. How to measure the parts and fix the ones that matter.

Connection exhaustion on serverless Postgres, and how to actually fix it
Serverless does not queue requests on a pool, it creates pools. Here is the arithmetic, the four real causes, and the fix for each.

Local Postgres with the Neon serverless driver, no Neon account
The Neon driver speaks HTTPS and WebSocket, not the Postgres wire protocol. A small local proxy plus two neonConfig settings let it run against a Postgres on your laptop, with no code fork.
