Neon: Serverless Postgres. We separated storage and compute to offer autoscaling, code-like database branching, and scale to zero.
Neon is an open-source serverless Postgres database platform. It separates storage and compute and substitutes the PostgreSQL storage layer by redistributing data across a cluster of nodes.
Try the Neon Free Tier to create a serverless Postgres instance. Then connect to it with your preferred Postgres client (psql, dbeaver, etc) or use the online SQL Editor. See Connect from any application for connection instructions.
Alternatively, compile and run the project locally.
A Neon installation consists of compute nodes and the Neon storage engine. Compute nodes are stateless PostgreSQL nodes backed by the Neon storage engine.
The Neon storage engine consists of two major components:
See developer documentation in SUMMARY.md for more information.
Neon can be run on a workstation for small experiments and to test code changes, by following these instructions.
apt install build-essential libtool libreadline-dev zlib1g-dev flex bison libseccomp-dev \ libssl-dev clang pkg-config libpq-dev cmake postgresql-client protobuf-compiler \ libprotobuf-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev openssl python3-poetry lsof libicu-dev

Building Neon requires 3.15+ version of protoc (protobuf-compiler). If your distribution provides an older version, you can install a newer version from here.
# recommended approach from https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install

brew install protobuf openssl flex bison icu4c pkg-config m4
# add openssl to PATH, required for ed25519 keys generation in neon_local

If you get errors about missing m4 you may have to install it manually:

The project uses rust toolchain file to define the version it's built with in CI for testing and local builds.
This file is automatically picked up by rustup that installs (if absent) and uses the toolchain version pinned in the file.
rustup users who want to build with another toolchain can use the rustup override command to set a specific toolchain for the project's directory.
non-rustup users most probably are not getting the same toolchain automatically from the file, so are responsible to manually verify that their toolchain matches the version in the file. Newer rustc versions most probably will work fine, yet older ones might not be supported due to some new features used by the project or the crates.

To run the psql client, install the postgresql-client package or modify PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include pg_install/bin and pg_install/lib, respectively.
To run the integration tests or Python scripts (not required to use the code), install
Python (3.11 or higher), and install the python3 packages using ./scripts/pysync (requires poetry>=1.8) in the project directory.

> cargo neon stopMore advanced usages can be found at Local Development Control Plane (neon_local)).
If you encounter errors during setting up the initial tenant, it's best to stop everything (cargo neon stop) and remove the .neon directory. Then fix the problems, and start the setup again.
We are using cargo-nextest to run the tests in Github Workflows.
Some crates do not support running plain cargo test anymore, prefer cargo nextest run instead.
You can install cargo-nextest with cargo install cargo-nextest.
Ensure your dependencies are installed as described here.

./scripts/pytestBy default, this runs both debug and release modes, and all supported postgres versions. When testing locally, it is convenient to run just one set of permutations, like this:
DEFAULT_PG_VERSION=17 BUILD_TYPE=release ./scripts/pytest
You may find yourself in need of flamegraphs for software in this repository.
You can use flamegraph-rs or the original flamegraph.pl. Your choice!
Important
If you're using lld or mold, you need the --no-rosegment linker argument.
It's a general thing with Rust / lld / mold, not specific to this repository.
See this PR for further instructions.
For cleaning up the source tree from build artifacts, run make clean in the source directory.
For removing every artifact from build and configure steps, run make distclean, and also consider removing the cargo binaries in the target directory, as well as the database in the .neon directory. Note that removing the .neon directory will remove your database, with all data in it. You have been warned!

Due to Neon's very close relation with PostgreSQL internals, numerous specific terms are used. The same applies to certain spelling: i.e. we use MB to denote 1024 * 1024 bytes, while MiB would be technically more correct, it's inconsistent with what PostgreSQL code and its documentation use.
