Neki database platform hits 118 million queries per second in benchmark test
The team behind Neki, released in platform preview, ran a benchmark scaling from 5 to 512 shards and reached 118,538,803 sustained queries per second over 16 minutes, using 1.22 PiB of data across 512 Postgres primaries and 480 routers. The test consisted only of single-shard point-select reads by primary key, with no writes, joins, or cross-shard queries, and per-shard throughput actually rose to 231,521 QPS at full scale, well above the initial 200k target.
