🚀 Netlify DB: One-click Postgres on Netlify
When you add a database, Netlify instantly provisions an anonymous Neon database in the background, in a region that matches your deployed functions so you get low-latency out of the box....
there is no tokyo region in neon, but available in netlify?
Neon
Netlify is Now a One-Stop Shop for Building with AI Agents - Neon
Netlify DB is now live - a free, production-ready Postgres database you can provision in one click or CLI command from your Netlify project.

You can access neon globally, but distance between your backend and neon can increase your request latencies so I'd make sure to measure it and make sure you're happy with it
If your backend needs to issue multiple queries for a http request, those round trips might add up. There's various ways to mitigate such issues though by designing your queries to do as much as possible in one go

I appreciate the latency advice! Just to clarify my original question though - if I deploy functions to Tokyo on Netlify, will Netlify DB provision a database in Tokyo region? Or would it still use the closest available Neon region?

Ah, I'm not sure on that I'm afraid
