## AI overview

Neon introduces same-region read replicas for its serverless architecture as a step toward global replication. The article explains PostgreSQL read replicas, including their use for scaling read workloads, reporting, analytics, and disaster recovery, and describes Neon's storage-and-compute architecture, where storage streams data to replicas rather than replicating data across instances.

Today, we are excited to introduce same-region read replicas to Neon's serverless architecture, an important milestone in achieving global replication. To start using Neon's read replicas, you'll need to sign up for Neon's Pro plan. You can create a read replica on the Neon conso...
