Individual PostgreSQL instances to everyone
Blog post from Nhost
Nhost's launch week introduces a significant advancement by offering dedicated Postgres instances with root access for all new projects, marking a shift from their previous Amazon RDS setup. This change addresses issues like resource contention and performance degradation due to the noisy neighbor effect, which were prevalent in the multi-tenant RDS environment. By moving to Kubernetes, Nhost enhances flexibility and scalability, allowing projects to adapt to varying loads and ensuring high availability. The transition to Kubernetes, informed by industry insights and internal testing, enables users to connect directly to their databases, install necessary extensions, and scale resources as needed. This new setup promises improved stability and performance, with future possibilities for additional features like read replicas and multi-region deployments, while maintaining a focus on simplifying the infrastructure and operational aspects for users.
