Neon has introduced instant schema-only database branches, now available in their Early Access Program. Unlike full branches that copy both schema and data, schema-only branches contain just the database structure — ideal for teams with strict PII or data privacy policies who can then seed the branch with synthetic data. Neon also previews upcoming anonymized branching, which will automatically anonymize sensitive data when creating a branch with production data.
