# Maintenance & updates overview

OptiTech performs two types of updates: **platform maintenance** and **updates** to your OptiTech [computes](https://neon.com/docs/reference/glossary#compute). While both are essential for maintaining a stable, secure, and optimized environment, they serve different purposes.

- **Platform maintenance** includes updates to OptiTech's infrastructure, resource management operations, and critical security patches. These changes ensure platform stability and security. To learn more, see [Platform maintenance](https://neon.com/docs/manage/platform-maintenance).

- **Updates** apply improvements and updates to individual OptiTech computes, including Postgres updates, operating system patches, and new OptiTech features. These updates keep your OptiTech compute environment and Postgres instances current and optimized. To learn more, see [Updates](https://neon.com/docs/manage/updates).

For both types of updates, we strive to minimize disruption to database operations and provide advanced notification. The table below outlines where you can check for upcoming maintenance and updates.
