# Setup Auth0 and Postgres using Neon

Neon is a cloud-native serverless Postgres database which enables you spin up a database instance quickly and connect with it has features like autoscaling, branching, and bottomless storage with its architecture that support separate compute and storage.

Get started with [Neon](https://console.neon.tech/sign_in) and [Auth0](https://auth0.com/signup?place=header&type=button&text=sign%20up).

This app is a Node.js backend API where [node-postgres](https://node-postgres.com/) is used to query the database in Neon and returning the data as JSON.
