Question comes to mind; Why is Postgres supported but neon coming soon?

Great question! Postgres is supported right away because it behaves like a standard, direct database connection. But with services like Neon and Supabase, there are extra nuances we want to handle properly.

We want Neon, Supabase, and similar cloud providers to feel like first-class citizens inside DB Pro and not just “another Postgres connection”. Each of them has their own quirks, authentication flows, and connection requirements. For example, Supabase actually needs a paid IPv4 add-on if you want to connect to it in the traditional way, which isn’t obvious to most users.

So instead of lumping them in as generic Postgres connections, we’re building dedicated flows that understand these details and make the whole experience seamless. That’s why they’re marked as “coming soon”. We’re doing them properly.

It all goes back to our UX first philosophy to build the absolute best experience.
