Key results
The challenge
Mindvalley, whose platform reaches 11 million lives with a 100-developer team, faced long delays creating preview environments: the traditional CloudSQL backup-and-import process took hours.
The solution
Mindvalley adopted Neon branching with the Neon Twin GitHub Action workflow, letting developers spin up isolated preview environments from the main branch on demand.
“Time to launch is crucial for us: when we tried Neon and saw that spinning up a new branch takes seconds, we were blown away”
ACAlex CoHead of Platform Engineering, Mindvalley
The results, in context
Mindvalley reported spinning up new preview environments in less than a minute using Neon branches, compared with the hours its previous CloudSQL backup-and-import process required, enabling hundreds of ephemeral environments for its 100 developers.
