[Feature A title]

[Description of Feature A]

Support for Postgres Event Triggers

The neon_superuser role now supports Postgres Event Triggers. Unlike regular triggers, which are attached to a single table and capture only DML events, event triggers are global to a particular database and are capable of capturing DDL events.

Event trigger support enables various tools and platforms that utilize this functionality, including pgroll, Zero, and Readyset, among others.

For more about event triggers, see PostgreSQL Event Trigger.

Neon Launchpad now supports database seeding

Neon Launchpad enables instant provisioning of a Postgres database without configuration or account creation. If you're not familiar, you can learn more here: Neon Launchpad: A Tool For Instant Postgres, No Login Needed

Neon Launchpad now supports database seeding, allowing developers to automatically populate databases with SQL scripts during database initialization. This feature streamlines the development workflow by enabling instant database setup with sample data. The seeding capability is also available through the Vite plugin integration, making it accessible in Vite-based projects.

To try it from your terminal:

npx neondb --seed /path/to/file.sql

For more details, see:

• Neondb CLI Changelog
• Vite Plugin Changelog

OpenTelemetry integration

Neon now supports OpenTelemetry! You can send metrics and Postgres logs from Neon to any OpenTelemetry-compatible backend. You can enable the integration from the Integrations page in the Neon Console. For setup instructions, refer to our OpenTelemetry docs, with example configuration for New Relic.

Data API now available in beta for all Neon users

The Neon Data API is now in open beta for all users. Instantly turn your Neon Postgres database into a REST API. No backend required. Query tables, views, and functions right from your client app using standard HTTP verbs (GET, POST, PATCH, DELETE), powered by PostgREST.

We've improved our onboarding to make it easier to get Neon Auth and RLS set up as needed to safely use the Data API in your app.

Learn more in our getting started guide. Or try this tutorial walkthrough of our demo note-taking app.

Check out the live demo to see it in action.

API key-based authentication for the Neon MCP Server

The Neon MCP Server now supports API key-based authentication for remote access, in addition to OAuth. This allows for simpler authentication using your Neon API key (personal or organization) for programmatic access.

    }

For Neon MCP Server setup instructions, see our guide.

app.build — now available via Homebrew

Last week, we introduced app.build, our open-source reference implementation for building AI-powered applications on top of Neon. Unlike LLMs that generate isolated snippets, app.build uses agent architecture to turn prompts into fully deployed, production-ready applications — complete with frontend, backend, and a Neon Postgres database.

This week, in addition to installing app.build using npx, you can now install it using Homebrew.

📌 We also fixed an issue where newly built apps could flicker between the “Under Construction” page and the actual app. Apps now load consistently.

Neon MCP homepage & streamable HTTP support

• Neon MCP Server now has a homepage — We’ve launched a new homepage for the Neon MCP Server at mcp.neon.tech, making it easier to understand what the MCP Server does and what tools it supports.

• Streamable HTTP support — The Neon MCP Server now supports streamable HTTP as an alternative to Server-Sent Events (SSE) for streaming responses. This makes it easier to consume streamed data in environments where SSE is not ideal — such as CLI tools, backend services, or AI agents. To use streamable HTTP, make sure to use the latest remote MCP server, and specify the https://mcp.neon.tech/mcp endpoint.
