### Integration Patterns

#### Neon with Next.js Applications
```typescript
// Neon database configuration for Next.js
import { Pool } from 'pg';

const neonPool = new Pool({
  connectionString: process.env.NEON_DATABASE_URL,
  ssl: { rejectUnauthorized: false },
  max: 20, // Optimized for serverless
  idleTimeoutMillis: 30000,
  connectionTimeoutMillis: 2000,
});

export async function query(text: string, params?: any[]) {
  const start = Date.now();
  const res = await neonPool.query(text, params);
  const duration = Date.now() - start;
  
  // Log slow queries for optimization
  if (duration > 1000) {
    console.log('Slow query:', { text, duration, rows: res.rowCount });
  }
  
  return res;
}
```

#### Neon Branching for CI/CD
```yaml
# GitHub Actions workflow with Neon branching
name: Test with Neon Branching

on:
  pull_request:
    types: [opened, synchronize]

jobs:
  test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      
      - name: Create Neon branch
        run: |
          BRANCH_NAME="pr-${{ github.event.number }}"
          neon branches create \
            --name $BRANCH_NAME \
            --parent main \
            --timezone UTC
      
      - name: Run tests on branch
        env:
          DATABASE_URL: ${{ secrets.NEON_DATABASE_URL }}?options=branch%3Dpr-${{ github.event.number }}
        run: npm test
      
      - name: Clean up branch
        if: always()
        run: neon branches delete --name pr-${{ github.event.number }}
```

### Migration Strategies

#### PostgreSQL to Neon Migration
```python
class PostgreSQLToNeonMigrator:
    def __init__(self):
        self.neon_client = NeonClient()
        self.migration_analyzer = MigrationAnalyzer()
    
    async def migrate_from_postgresql(self, 
                                    source_config: PostgreSQLConfig,
                                    neon_config: NeonConfig) -> MigrationResult:
        """Migrate from traditional PostgreSQL to Neon."""
        
        # Analyze source database
        source_analysis = await self.migration_analyzer.analyze_database(
            source_config
        )
        
        # Create migration plan
        migration_plan = self._create_migration_plan(source_analysis)
        
        # Execute migration with zero downtime
        migration_result = await self._execute_migration(
            source_config, neon_config, migration_plan
        )
        
        return MigrationResult(
            success=migration_result.success,
            migrated_tables=migration_result.tables,
            data_integrity_check=migration_result.integrity_check,
            performance_comparison=migration_result.performance_metrics,
            rollback_plan=self._create_rollback_plan()
        )
```
