Neon is a serverless Postgres database platform offering autoscaling and branching, acquired by Databricks in 2024.
Stripe Data Pipeline now streams Stripe API data into a Postgres database in public preview, according to Neon. Teams that sync subscription state by webhook or API could drop that code, if the sync holds up in preview.

Postgres row-level security on a tenant_id column is the right default for most B2B SaaS apps, a dev.to guide argues, at two statements and a policy per table. Its warning is that a policy can look secure in a migration diff and still let one tenant reach another's data.
Reality
Drizzle-kit generated a DROP TABLE ... CASCADE for a table still in production when a developer asked it for two new tables. The developer traces it to schema.ts, drizzle-kit's snapshot and the live database each describing a different schema.

Neon pledged to release its 2027 SCP Foundation film under CC BY-SA after contacting the wiki's admins first. A24 did neither, and so far the license has moved one studio through public pressure, with a promise that can only be checked at release.
Perspective Coverage

Databricks made Lakebase Search generally available, pairing BM25 with a Postgres vector index it says runs 4 times cheaper than pgvector at 100M vectors. The vector index lives in object storage behind a cache, so large agent corpora no longer need RAM sized to the whole index.
Reality
Row-level security in a no-backend Neon app refused 27 of 27 tenant attacks, yet a removed member read on for 928 seconds. A membership check in the policies closed that gap at a cost of about 5 ms on function calls.
Reality
A cron built to defeat Render's 15-minute spin-down spent the workspace's shared machine-hour budget in about ten days, and the suspension that followed took production and staging down together.
Reality
Hot pages on large fixed-size Lakebase computes now sit in Postgres shared buffers backed by huge pages instead of falling through to the local file cache, and Databricks measures up to about 2x throughput.
Reality
A social-media scheduler traced silently dead posts to a delivery JWT that QStash mints at enqueue time, and rebuilt dispatch so no message waits in the queue longer than its own signature stays valid.
Reality
Databricks says an ordinary customer role could reach the unchecked array index. The repair went upstream into the open-source extension rather than into either fleet. That is the only version that helps anyone else.
Reality
The compute node owns no durable state, so it can resize in place, and Neon puts the average production database at 32,016 size changes a month, a figure that describes its fleet's variance more than it predicts yours.
Reality
Storage pricing built for humans clicking a user interface is now metering machine writes at volumes nobody budgeted for. The platforms have started policing which vendor's agent gets to hold the record.
Reality
Platform teams planned capacity by headcount. If tenancy demand now scales with changes in flight, a namespace per developer is oversubscribed on arrival.
Reality
A dev.to walkthrough flags two upgrade traps: migrate dev no longer runs your seed script, and seeding through the pooled endpoint breaks long transactions and prepared statements.
