By default, Neon scales a compute to zero after 5 minutes of inactivity. A characteristic of this feature is the concept of a "cold start". During this process, a compute transitions from an idle state to an active state to process requests. Currently, activating a Neon compute from an idle state typically takes a few hundred milliseconds not counting other factors that can add to latencies such as the physical distance between your application and database or startup times of other services that participate in your connection process.
