## AI overview

This article explains how Neon supports multi-tenant, database-per-user applications in Postgres and why a centralized control plane is needed to manage the growing number of projects. It introduces Neon's hierarchy of projects, branches, and databases, along with the isolation, testing, development, and operational considerations of this architecture.

## Source excerpt

Due to its serverless architecture, Neon is a great option for building multi-tenant, database-per-user applications in Postgres. In a previous post, we explored the various approaches to multi-tenancy in Postgres, with a particular focus on the database-per-user architecture and...
