About The fully managed multi-cloud Postgres with a generous free tier. We separated storage and computing to offer autoscaling, branching, and bottomless storage. We separated storage and computing to make on-demand scalability possible. Compute activates on an incoming connection and scales to zero when not in use. Neon storage uses the "copy-on-write" technique to deliver data branching, online checkpointing, and point-in-time restore. This eliminates expensive full-data backup and restore operations required with traditional database-as-a-service systems. Neon allows you to instantly branch your Postgres database to support modern development workflows. You can create branches for test environments and for every deployment in your CI/CD pipeline. Our serverless architecture reduces computing and storage expenses. Specifically, Neon's autoscaling capabilities prevent over-provisioning and paying for under-utilized instances.

		Pros from Real Users Pros As an AI developer using Runpod for a few months now: it’s been a great platform for training and deploying my models. The ability to launch GPU pods so quickly has made a huge difference in my workflow. Cold-start times are almost instantaneous, which means I spend less time waiting and more time experimenting and iterating on my AI projects. Runpod offers a wide range of GPU options, from NVIDIA’s latest H100s to AMD MI300Xs, which covers everything I need for both research-level experiments and larger scale training jobs. The support for custom containers is excellent, so I can bring my own environment or use the many preconfigured templates. The autoscaling serverless infrastructure adapts perfectly to varying workloads, and the real-time logs and analytics help me understand how my models are performing in production. Security and compliance, including SOC2 certification, give me peace of mind when deploying sensitive models.
