## AI overview

The article explains how Neon snapshots can provide checkpoints for agent-built applications. Because each checkpoint preserves the application code together with the corresponding database schema and data, users can compare versions and roll back to a consistent state. Neon's API, serverless Postgres architecture, and copy-on-write storage make this approach practical and cost-effective.

## Source excerpt

You can now create Neon snapshots via API. This new capability isn't just useful for backups or disaster recovery, but also serves as a powerful building block for one of the most requested features in agentic platforms: versioning (or checkpoints). Neon's snapshots, built on our...
