Should I use the HTTP Client or the WebSocket Pool?

Use the HTTP Client for Edge and serverless functions to minimize latency. Use the WebSocket Pool for traditional Node.js environments where connection pooling is required.

How does the skill handle TypeScript imports?

It automatically checks your tsconfig.json for path aliases. If found, it uses them; otherwise, it defaults to reliable relative paths to ensure code compatibility.

Can I use this with ORMs like Drizzle or Prisma?

While this skill focuses on the core driver, it is designed to work alongside related skills like neon-drizzle for full ORM integration.

Which serverless environments are supported by this skill?

The skill supports Vercel Edge Functions, Cloudflare Workers, AWS Lambda, Google Cloud Functions, and Next.js API routes.

Does this skill help with database connection testing?

Yes, it provides a validation script to test your database connection and environment variables before you deploy to production.

Database Management

Integrates the Neon Serverless Driver into applications to enable low-latency PostgreSQL access in edge and serverless environments.

About

The Neon Serverless skill automates the configuration of the Neon Serverless Driver for modern web frameworks like Next.js and deployment platforms like Vercel Edge and AWS Lambda. It streamlines the setup process by installing necessary packages, configuring environment variables, and generating optimized TypeScript boilerplate for both HTTP-based and WebSocket-based database connections. This skill is essential for developers building high-performance, globally distributed applications that require reliable database access without the overhead of traditional PostgreSQL connections in transient environments.
