We’re excited to announce a significant upgrade at Canix that’s already making a big difference for our customers. We’ve recently migrated our database from Heroku to AWS, and the results speak for themselves. The upgrade has not only bolstered our infrastructure, but it’s also led to major speed improvements across the board.

Dramatically Reduced Database Timeouts

One of the first benefits our customers have noticed is the reduction in database timeouts. By moving to AWS, we’ve cut database timeouts by 50%. This means fewer interruptions, smoother transactions, and a more reliable experience as you interact with our platform.

Faster Application Response Times

Performance improvements are a key part of enhancing the user experience, and our app response times have seen remarkable gains:

  • P50 Response Time: We’ve achieved a 15% improvement in our median response time. This improvement makes everyday interactions faster and more seamless.
  • P95 and P99 Response Times: For those moments when peak performance matters most, we’ve recorded a 50% improvement at both the P95 and P99 levels. This means that even under heavy load, our system remains responsive and efficient.

Optimized Thoughtspot Performance

For customers using Thoughtspot, our upgrade has resulted in even more impressive gains. The average load times for Thoughtspot have been reduced from 1.2 seconds to just 0.5 seconds—a nearly 60% improvement. This dramatic decrease means faster insights and more effective data analysis, empowering you to make better decisions in less time.

What This Upgrade Means for You

At Canix, our mission is to provide a platform that not only meets but exceeds your performance expectations. This upgrade is just one step in our ongoing commitment to deliver a faster, more reliable, and efficient experience. By harnessing the power of AWS, we’re not only future-proofing our services but also ensuring that you benefit from the latest in technology and performance enhancements.

Thank you for being a valued member of the Canix community. We’re excited for you to experience these improvements, and we’re always here to support you with the best technology solutions available.

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to innovate and optimize our services for you!
