# Neon for database

> Learn how to integrate Neon Database with Same.new. Add a Postgres-powered backend to your AI apps and deploy from a prompt, no setup required.

## What is Neon?

[Neon](https://neon.tech) is a fully managed, serverless **PostgreSQL database** designed for modern development. It separates storage and compute for autoscaling, enables instant branching for safe experimentation, and supports rich collaboration workflows.

<Note>
  A database stores, organizes, and retrieves data for your project. With a database, you can persist user data, content, and configurations — even after the app is closed or restarted.
</Note>

When you connect Same with Neon, you can use natural language to:

* Have Same design and build a schema that fits your project
* Spin up and manage database branches for safe testing
* Explore and analyze your data without leaving your Same workspace
