CU-cluster per Branch / Non-Shared CU-cluster
Hi there,
I am currently digging into the documentation and pricing model and was initially a bit surprised that a CU cluster can only serve a single branch at a time. Does this mean that the 300 hours of compute can be quickly consumed with production + multiple additional branches? Or is this not an issue in reality as its compensated by having 0.25 CU units and fast stop/resume times in NEON?
I would expect that having shared CU clusters would avoid some overhead?
So what is the experience of others?
And to @NeonDevRel : Is it planned to allow sharing clusters between branches? For example, have a cluster to serve multiple dev branches or in case for a small project even share the same cluster for production and dev branches?

Each Neon branch has its own isolated resources.
Does this mean that the 300 hours of compute can be quickly consumed with production + multiple additional branches?That is correct
s this not an issue in reality as its compensated by having 0.25 CU units and fast stop/resume timesAlso correct
I would expect that having shared CU clusters would avoid some overhead?Quite the opposite. Having compute resources shared by different environments causes overhead. (e.g a big query you run in dev will result in a degraded experience for users in production)
Is it planned to allow sharing clusters between branches?We haven't received lots of feedback about this so nothing is planned
