What is neon-postgres-branches?

Choose and create the right Neon branch type for testing and development. Use when users ask about Neon branching, migration testing with real data, isolated test environments, schema-only branch workflows for sensitive data, resetting a branch from its parent, branch expiration and CI/CD branch lifecycles, or branch creation via Neon CLI or Neon MCP. Triggers include "Neon branch", "test migrations safely", "branch production data", "schema-only branch", "reset branch", "branch per PR" and "sensitive data testing".

Neon Postgres Branching

Outcome: a created Neon branch — or a clear, actionable next step if creation cannot proceed. Choose the correct branch type, then execute branch creation with the CLI (or MCP where the CLI isn't usable).

  • Normal branch for realistic migration and query testing with real data.
  • Schema-only branch (Beta) for sensitive data workflows where structure is needed without copying rows.
