Rolling out our new networking stack for 3x faster deployments

Hi everyone! We post weekly changelogs to share the features and improvements we’ve shipped. We rarely take the time to explain on-going iterations to improve the platform.

Since last month, we are steadily rolling out the new network stack to accelerate deployments and increase bandwidth + latency.

Paris is the first region to benefit from this new stack and we will rollout globally in August. Nothing to do on your end, we will automatically migrate your service to the new stack in the coming weeks!

Stay tuned for faster deployments! :wink:


Over the past couple of months, one key area of focus for us has been networking. As you may know, networking affects both:

  • Deployment speed: The relationship between networking and deployment speed is network convergence time. We want faster deployment times so you can deploy a critical patch in seconds and iterate quickly.
  • Bandwidth and latency: Bandwidth and latency are critical for network-intensive apps like distributed databases and real-time applications.

We hit a wall, aka a few limitations, with our previous networking stack and decided to completely redesign it.

If you want to learn more about why we revamped our networking stack, we’ll be publishing an engineering blog post detailing our migration soon!
