Neon

Neon is a cloud-native, fully managed Postgres as a service. By separating storage from computing, Neon offers autoscaling, branching, and bottomless storage to give developers a simple, reliable, and powerful experience. Neon aims to provide a highly performant and cost-effective database infrastructure by leveraging cloud-native technologies and innovative architectural features.

Neon offers an open-source serverless database management system based on Postgres that provides autoscaling, multi-cloud compatibility, and unlimited storage for developers to efficiently scale their applications. The solution’s architecture separates storage and computation to enable developers to reduce costs. This is done by activating incoming connections only when required and offloading data that is rarely accessed to third-party services such as Amazon S3.

The innovative cost dynamics of serverless computing allow more customers onto the cloud without breaking the bank.

Neon Serverless Postgres Announces Native Integration with Microsoft Azure

Neon offers an open-source serverless database management system based on Postgres that provides autoscaling, multi-cloud compatibility, and unlimited storage for developers to efficiently scale their applications. The solution’s architecture separates storage and computation to enable developers to reduce costs. This is done by activating incoming connections only when required and offloading data that is rarely accessed to third-party services such as Amazon S3.The company also plans to implement a “copy-on-write” technique that delivers checkpointing, branching, and “point-in-time” restore. This enables users to create branches of databases for test environments every time new code is deployed.Key customers and partnershipsThe company had 130,000 databases in use as of August 2023.

Triggermesh’s platform allows users to create serverless apps that integrate multiple cloud, data center, and on-premise software and environments, on top of Kubernetes. Through these integrations, the platform aims to break “silos” between enterprise customers and their software development and IT operations (DevOps) teams. The cloud and infrastructure integration development speed is reportedly enhanced by reusing connectors and customizable templates.In March 2022, the platform announced broad support for KNative (an open-source platform to build and deploy serverless workloads) which includes any conformant Knative deployment, along with the provision of Knative distribution. TriggerMesh also announced broad support for creating event-driven architecture that runs on Kubernetes in Google Cloud, to enable users to create integrations to sync data or drive event-driven workloads. Triggermesh went on to launch a service to enable enterprises using Kubeless migrate to Knative in May 2022.

Iron.io offers multiple tools to assist development operations (DevOps) to focus on core tasks, without managing infrastructure. The company entered the serverless computing market in 2016, with the launch of IronFunctions, effectively an open-source platform that can be used by developers and uses containers as the base. It allows users to launch serverless applications and functions on private and public clouds, on-premise servers, and hybrid environments. IronFunctions can be written in a variety of programming languages including Ruby, PHP, Python, Java, Node.js, Go, and .NET. However, the company currently only provides helper libraries and integration with Amazon Web Services (AWS) Lambda.The company has expanded its operations since 2017 by adding an office in Tokyo, expanding its engineering and customer success teams, and continuing to improve the company’s products (bug fixes, improvements to internal tooling, and adding concurrency graphs, etc.). Iron.io looks to continue ramping up the development of its products by improving performance and reliability and developing a new user interface.Iron.io also continues to invest in new cutting-edge technologies such as “Computerless,” which eliminates the physical machine altogether and allows for it to be fully encapsulated in fiber optic cable.Key customers and partnershipsIts key customers include Google, Harry’s, Philips, Whole Foods, Veritone, and Counsyl.

Sparta is an open-source framework for building and deploying Go microservices on AWS Lambda-powered microservices. It allows developers to define their application logic, AWS infrastructure, operational metrics, alert conditions, and security policies using Go types within a monorepo. Sparta transforms a Go application into a self-deploying AWS Lambda service, automatically provisioning the required infrastructure through CloudFormation.It integrates with various AWS services, including DynamoDB, S3, Kinesis, SNS, SES, CloudMap, CloudWatch Events, CloudWatch Logs, and Step Functions. It also allows provisioning custom AWS resources and defining IAM roles with limited privileges to minimize the service's attack surface. Sparta emphasizes security and operational best practices as first-class goals.One of Sparta's key features is its ability to discover dynamically created AWS resources at runtime, eliminating the need for hard-coded ARNs in the codebase. This promotes an immutable infrastructure approach. The framework aims to discourage the deployment of monolithic applications as Lambda functions, instead favoring a microservices architecture.
