Neon Functions
Currently available in aws-us-east-2, aws-us-east-1, aws-eu-central-1, and aws-ap-southeast-1.
Neon Functions are long-running Node.js HTTP handlers deployed onto a Neon branch. Each function gets a public HTTPS URL, runs in the same region as your database, and — if the branch has Postgres — gets DATABASE_URL injected automatically. You deploy and manage them through the same Neon CLI, neon.ts, and API you already use.
