Not this one though, they are open source so someone else would start to offer new hosted instances: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon

Some Helm charts: https://github.com/neondatabase/helm-charts

It could potentially be one of their partners:

Vercel https://neon.tech/docs/guides/vercel

Hasura https://neon.tech/docs/guides/hasura

For the record though, they're not enough to run neon today[0] - this has been a "problem" since neon was announced here[1].

I found their docker-compose more helpful than their chart: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/blob/main/docker-compos...

But I also needed to read their Ansible files to understand how they manage their infra better. Those are deleted now, but luckily you can just look at the history (commit that deleted it: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/commit/0d3d022eb1fe4a42...)

I found installation instructions for Neon including Ansible files here: https://percona.community/labs/serverless-postgresql/docs/in...
That is super helpful and also kinda weird that it's on the percona website and not somewhere in the Neon docs
Yes, you'd have to do some own work to set up a direct competitor from the provided pieces.

They have published a new piece which is how they vertically autoscale Postgres in Kubernetes: https://github.com/neondatabase/autoscaling

Neon CEO here.

Autoscaling with live VM migrations is quite cool. Here is a blog post on it: https://neon.tech/blog/scaling-serverless-postgres

And yes, the code is open feel free to use it!

Yeah I'm not complaining - I mention it because if you're a bit.io customer that wants to migrate to another serverless Postgres solution you won't be able to do it by "just" running the linked helm charts.

(In my opinion) when someone says here's the helm chart I assume running "helm install $THING" would give me a running version of $THING, so it's more so no one has the wrong expectations (like I would)

I keep expecting Vercel to be bought by Sitecore, given how they are replacing all the .NET stuff and pushing Vercel everywhere.
