How to constantly improve your service performance... by doing nothing

Aiven, a cloud-based data infrastructure service provider, ensures that customers get the best possible price/performance ratio by constantly fine-tuning the performance of all services throughout their lifecycle. As hardware continues to evolve rapidly, cloud platform providers introduce new virtual machine instance types optimized for different use cases. Aiven takes the burden away from its customers by tracking this evolution and evaluating which instance types offer the optimal price/performance ratio for specific services. When a better instance type is found, it is brought into production, and existing services switch to the new instance type during maintenance updates. This process has recently led to improved Redis performance on Aiven's platform.
