Neon is my go to database for RAG - serverless Postgres with instant database branching, autoscaling, and scale-to-zero
Neon is still my go-to when I’m doing RAG with Postgres because it’s simple to run and scales the way you actually want for agent backends. If you’re storing documents, chunks, sessions, and message history, having serverless Postgres with branching and scale-to-zero makes experimentation and production a lot smoother.
Pros
+Serverless Postgres that works well for RAG backends
+Instant database branching for fast experimentation
+Autoscaling and scale-to-zero for cost control
Cons
-You still have to design and maintain your RAG schema and ingestion pipeline
-Costs can grow with heavy workloads like any managed database
