Compare Neon vs. Yandex Cloud Functions

Neon offers a fully managed multi-cloud Postgres solution with an appealing free tier. By decoupling storage from computing, we enable features such as autoscaling, branching, and virtually limitless storage options. This separation allows for on-demand scalability, where compute resources are activated upon an incoming connection and can scale down to zero when idle. Utilizing the "copy-on-write" method, Neon storage supports data branching, online checkpointing, and point-in-time restoration, thus eliminating the costly full-data backup and restore processes typical of conventional database-as-a-service models. With Neon, you can effortlessly branch your Postgres database, catering to contemporary development workflows, and create branches for testing environments as well as for every deployment in your CI/CD pipeline. Our serverless architecture is designed to minimize costs associated with computing and storage. Notably, Neon's autoscaling features help avoid over-provisioning, ensuring you only pay for the resources you actually use, making it a cost-effective choice for developers. This innovative approach transforms how databases are managed and utilized in various development scenarios.

Execute code within a secure, resilient, and automatically scalable framework without the need to create or manage virtual machines. As the demand for function executions rises, the service dynamically provisions extra instances of your function to handle the increased load. All functions operate concurrently, and the runtime environment is distributed across three availability zones to maintain service continuity even if one zone experiences issues. You can set up and ready function instances to handle incoming requests efficiently, which helps to eliminate cold starts and allows for the rapid processing of workloads of any magnitude. Grant your functions access to your Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) to enhance communication with private resources, including database clusters, virtual machines, and Kubernetes nodes. Additionally, Serverless Functions monitors and logs details about function executions, providing insights into operational flow and performance metrics; you also have the option to specify logging methods within your function's code. Furthermore, you can initiate cloud functions in both synchronized mode and with delayed execution capabilities for greater flexibility. This approach allows for streamlined processes that can adapt to varying workloads efficiently.
