Disk performance
fio · direct I/O · sequential 1 MiB / QD8 · random 4 KiB / QD32.
| Workload | Throughput | p95 latency |
|---|---|---|
| Sequential read | 2,150 MB/s | 5.0 ms |
| Sequential write | 1,600 MB/s | 6.2 ms |
| Random read | 57,000 IOPS | 0.92 ms |
| Random write | 33,800 IOPS | 1.54 ms |
| Random 70/30 mix | 42,400 IOPS | 1.30 ms |
Read, write, and mixed workloads are represented separately. All values are synthetic.

Results describe these example paths, not every possible destination.
PostgreSQL performance
PostgreSQL 16 · pgbench read/write · 32 clients · durability enabled.
| Dataset profile | Transactions / sec | p95 latency | Errors |
|---|---|---|---|
| In memory | 3,740 | 11.1 ms | 0 |
| Storage-bound | 1,270 | 32.7 ms | 0 |
Example configuration: 5-minute warm-up · 60-second measured runs.
Consistency across instances
PostgreSQL in-memory workload · three sample instances.
| Instance | CPU 1 thread | Memory read | Random read | PostgreSQL |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | 1,480 events/s | 16.2 GB/s | 58,200 IOPS | 3,900 tx/s |
| B | 1,460 events/s | 15.8 GB/s | 57,000 IOPS | 3,740 tx/s |
| C | 1,430 events/s | 15.4 GB/s | 55,500 IOPS | 3,630 tx/s |
Inspect the evidence.
Illustrative configuration, sample results, and a clearly labelled demonstration log.
Three instances describe this sample, not every server a provider operates.
A 24-hour test does not establish long-term reliability. Sample downloads contain synthetic values only.
