With read-only replicas, Azure support, and massive performance boosts to bulk writes, Neki offers a scalable path for Postgres workloads without sacrificing SQL compatibility or developer experience.
This expansion allows Azure-based teams to utilize PlanetScale's managed database features with low latency. The technical implementation highlights sophisticated Kubernetes networking strategies to overcome cloud provider IP limitations at scale.
This feature allows engineers to scale read-heavy Postgres workloads globally while isolating specialized tasks like analytics or vector search. By providing independent resource tuning for each replica, teams can optimize performance and costs without impacting the primary database.
Sharding strategies that work at launch often fail under scale. Understanding how to migrate from tenant-based sharding to more granular keys is crucial for maintaining performance and enabling features like cross-tenant communication without incurring application downtime.
