Integration Patterns

Neon with Next.js Applications

// Neon database configuration for Next.js
import { Pool } from 'pg';

const neonPool = new Pool({
  connectionString: process.env.NEON_DATABASE_URL,
  ssl: { rejectUnauthorized: false },
  max: 20, // Optimized for serverless
  idleTimeoutMillis: 30000,
  connectionTimeoutMillis: 2000,
});

export async function query(text: string, params?: any[]) {
  const start = Date.now();
  const res = await neonPool.query(text, params);
  const duration = Date.now() - start;
  
  // Log slow queries for optimization
  if (duration > 1000) {
    console.log('Slow query:', { text, duration, rows: res.rowCount });
  }
  
  return res;
}
