Neon Postgres
Patterns
Prisma with Neon Connection
Configure Prisma for Neon with connection pooling.
Use two connection strings:
- DATABASE_URL: Pooled connection for Prisma Client
- DIRECT_URL: Direct connection for Prisma Migrate
The pooled connection uses PgBouncer for up to 10K connections. Direct connection required for migrations (DDL operations).
Drizzle with Neon Serverless Driver
Use Drizzle ORM with Neon's serverless HTTP driver for edge/serverless environments.
Two driver options:
- neon-http: Single queries over HTTP (fastest for one-off queries)
- neon-serverless: WebSocket for transactions and sessions
Connection Pooling with PgBouncer
Neon provides built-in connection pooling via PgBouncer.
Key limits:
- Up to 10,000 concurrent connections to pooler
- Connections still consume underlying Postgres connections
- 7 connections reserved for Neon superuser
Use pooled endpoint for application, direct for migrations.

When to Use
This skill is applicable to execute the workflow or actions described in the overview.
AGI Framework Integration
Adapted for @techwavedev/agi-agent-kit Original source: antigravity-awesome-skills
Memory-First Protocol
Retrieve prior API design decisions, database schema choices, and error handling patterns. Cache API response templates for consistent error formatting.
# Check for prior backend/API context before starting
python3 execution/memory_manager.py auto --query "API design patterns and architecture decisions for Neon Postgres"
Storing Results
After completing work, store backend/API decisions for future sessions:
python3 execution/memory_manager.py store \
--content "API architecture: REST with HATEOAS, JWT auth, rate limiting at 100 req/min per tenant" \
--type decision --project <project> \
--tags neon-postgres backend
Multi-Agent Collaboration
Share API contract changes with frontend agents so they update their client code, and with QA agents for test coverage.
python3 execution/cross_agent_context.py store \
--agent "<your-agent>" \
--action "Implemented API endpoints — 5 new routes with OpenAPI spec and integration tests" \
--project <project>
Agent Team: Code Review
After implementation, dispatch code_review_team for two-stage review (spec compliance + code quality) before merging.
