November 2017 Summaries

Aiven, a Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) provider, has increased the disk space for all its PostgreSQL plans by up to 75%. The new storage capacities range from 80 GB for Startup/Business/Premium-4 plans to 2800 GB for Startup/Business/Premium-240 plans. Additionally, Aiven is the first DBaaS to support local SSDs in Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google Cloud Platform (GCP), offering up to a 400% increase in performance compared to network-based SSDs. The company aims to extend this support to other cloud providers in the future when they have the required support.
