Best default for most new Postgres-backed apps.

Why teams pick it

  • Serverless Postgres plus Vercel edge and preview workflows is a first-class path.
  • Neon has native Drizzle workflow support and branching fits migration previews well.
  • Standard Postgres compatibility and pooled connections make Prisma adoption straightforward.
  • No direct dependency, but the Vercel-centered deployment model pairs cleanly.

Where it gives ground

  • Cold starts can stack with Lambda cold starts when using direct connections.
  • Always-on workers can burn through included compute hours faster than expected.
