PlanetScale announces high-performance cloud hosting for Vitess and Postgres using locally-attached NVMe storage to deliver unlimited IOPS and horizontal scaling.
Sick of slow databases? Our locally-attached NVMe storage unlocks unlimited IOPS, bringing data center performance to the cloud while saving you money. Available for Postgres and MySQL in AWS or GCP.
Researchers propose Prefill-as-a-Service (PrfaaS), a system that offloads long-context prefill to remote compute-dense clusters and streams KVCache over commodity Ethernet, enabling independent scaling and 32-54% higher throughput for a 1T-parameter hybrid model.
MIT researchers have developed Sandook, a software-based system that improves data center storage performance by simultaneously addressing three sources of variability in SSDs, nearly doubling efficiency compared to traditional methods.
OpenInfer demonstrates "vertical disaggregation" that boosts Qwen 3.5 27B throughput by ~50% by co-executing quantized layers across a single node’s AMD EPYC CPU and Nvidia L40S GPU with a custom SLA-aware scheduler.
OpenAI shares technical insights on scaling PostgreSQL to support 800 million ChatGPT users and millions of queries per second, using a single-primary architecture with 50 read replicas while managing challenges from write-heavy workloads through sharding and optimization strategies.
Tailscale co-founder David Crawshaw announces Series A for exe.dev, a new cloud provider aiming to fix fundamental abstraction mismatches in current clouds like rigid VM sizing and limiting PaaS layers.
