Case Study: Invenco cut database costs to one-sixth after leaving Aurora Serverless v2 for Neon
Key results
The challenge
Invenco ran its databases on Amazon Aurora Serverless v2, where hundreds of AWS Lambda functions caused connection issues and non-production environments were complex and expensive to duplicate per service.
The solution
Invenco migrated to Neon, consolidating non-production services into a single Neon project and using branching to spin off child environments from a shared staging branch. Neon handled the Lambda connections without the issues seen on Aurora.
“Neon worked out of the box, handling hundreds of Lambdas without any of the connection issues we saw in Aurora Serverless v2. On top of that, Neon costs us 1/6 of what we were paying with AWS”

The results, in context
Invenco reported that Neon costs about one-sixth of what it paid on AWS, an approximately 80% reduction, while handling hundreds of Lambdas without the connection issues it had on Aurora Serverless v2.
