## AI overview

Neon's Data API is a PostgREST-compatible HTTPS interface for querying Neon directly. It is a Rust reimplementation integrated into Neon's proxy fleet and designed as a CPU- and memory-efficient shared service for multi-tenant environments with thousands of databases. It preserves PostgREST's protocol while adding platform integration, autoscaling, branching, and scale-to-zero capabilities.

## Source excerpt

The Neon Data API is now live, a PostgREST-compatible way to query Neon directly over HTTPS. If you've used PostgREST before (or you have a platform built on it), you'll feel right at home: the protocol for the Neon Data API is identical, and migration is as simple as pointing yo...
