Just better neon.tech

It would be great if there were a feature like autoscaling.

Would like an easy interface to help with prioritizing query tuning. Show me the slowest queries, ones run most often, etc.

It would also be helpful to see basic stats like DB size, rows per table, size per table, and index size.

Your competitor Heroku offers a “pg-extras” package out of the box which is just a wrapper over some queries made possible with basic Postgres plugins. It’s invaluable for a DB intermediate, let alone a beginner.

I'd love read-only replicas with auto-failover. Plus I wish i could add pgvector to my existing postgres instance without interruption. Currently I can't enable it.

In my opinion, this is the most important feature for production apps. The app container itself already supports replicas, which is fine. But the database needs to support replication and failover as well for solid performance and availability. Looking forward to it!

• Read replicas

• HA failover

• Upgrades

• IP whitelisting for the TCP proxy (so it's not just 0.0.0.0/0 or nothing)

Additionally, easy migration path from the maintained postgres template to the new managed version.

DB branching! https://neon.com/docs/introduction/branching

Integrate with something like planetscale and treat it like a railway component?

It has all the features one needs and world class performance that i haven't seen any other managed DB match. If it had a native-like interface on railway i'd reach for it every time

I like all the features mentioned, but I would really like a simple way to run queries or a UI table editor. That would be very helpful.

https://gateway.drizzle.team/ is the best way to go for that

This would be awesome! Any updates or milestones to share?

This would be good to have lol.

Check out this changelog page: https://railway.com/changelog/2025-12-19-new-landing-page

There's a section about high availability Postgres

Yep - we just hit a milestone here with a preview release of our Postgres HA template. You can deploy it via https://railway.com/deploy/postgres-ha and leave feedback in https://station.railway.com/templates/postgres-ha-8aa408ed

would be good to have sth like a db dashbaord similar to supabase studio but just for db (no edge fucntions, realtime etc)

Are there any updates on what the Railway Managed Postgres offering would entail?

Thanks for the replies but HA Postgres updates seem more related to this issue: https://station.railway.com/feedback/highly-available-postgre-sql-26822fc6 rather than this one

I would pay for more room for postgres backups. Currently I can only keep 10. I would prefer 20. In addition, I would like to be able to download these backups.
