From Supabase to Neon: A Migration Guide

Migrating databases can be daunting, but with the right approach, it's straightforward.

Why Neon?

Serverless scaling: Pay for what you use

Branching: Database branches for development

Modern architecture: Built for the cloud-native era

bash
pg_dump -h db.supabase.co -U postgres -d postgres > backup.sql



Step 2: Create Neon Database

1. Sign up at neon.tech
2. Create a new project
3. Get your connection string

Step 3: Import to Neon

bash
psql "your-neon-connection-string" < backup.sql



Step 4: Update Application

typescript
import { neon } from "@neondatabase/serverless"

const sql = neon(process.env.DATABASE_URL!)

Migration to Neon is straightforward and the serverless benefits are worth it!
