What This Skill Does

Netlify DB provisions a managed Neon Postgres database for Netlify projects without requiring a separate Neon account. It supports raw SQL via @netlify/neon, Drizzle ORM integration, and schema migrations. Each deploy preview branch gets its own isolated database branch. Unlike wiring up an external Postgres provider manually, Netlify DB auto-provisions the database and sets NETLIFY_DATABASE_URL automatically, with per-branch isolation built into the deploy preview workflow.
