Neon serverless Postgres new pricing plans

  Seems like this will be a huge price hike for my current use-case (many small infrequently used projects for things like labs, courses, POCs or projects just starting). Neon has not been around for long enough for us to use them on large, customer-facing projects yet. I'm pretty disappointed with a company that until recently I have loved using and have had great communication with.

  This really signals a move away from a "pay-for-what-you-use" model (i.e. actually serverless) and towards something where they put arbitrary caps on plans to make you upgrade. Why can't I pay for extra storage or projects on the launch plan? Why do I have to pay for a Scale plan to set my autoscaling timeout lower?!

  Neon are updating their pricing plans. I always found it hard to estimate how much a workload would cost-this makes it a little clearer.
