From 5ce89b94e0a04da60bea74132884d24ce7a53323 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gregory Boch Date: Thu, 8 Oct 2026 10:12:49 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] fix(blog): Neon Free CU-hours are per project in the serverless Postgres guide "100 CU-hours across 100 projects" read as one shared pool. Neon gives each project its own 100 CU-hours, up to 100 projects. Verified on 2026-10-08 against https://neon.com/docs/introduction/plans.

Neon, or Aurora if you're already on AWS and can tolerate ~15-second resumes. - **User-facing apps that go idle but have latency-sensitive users:** this is where cold starts hurt. Either keep the database always ready and pay per query (Prisma Postgres), disable auto-suspend on Neon, or run a small always-on instance on PlanetScale ($5) or paid Supabase ($25). The [cost comparison](#the-cost-crossover) below shows how to pick between them. - **Steady, high-throughput production:** always-on dedicated capacity wins on price-per-query at sustained load. PlanetScale (from $5 single node, $50 Metal), or Aurora sized for the load.
