Scaling Database Storage: Introducing High Performance Disks

Supabase introduces high performance disks that can store up to 60 TB of data with 100x improved durability, and provision up to 5x more IOPS than the default disks. The company tackles disk scalability from two angles: software improvements through Oriole DB's index-organized tables and infrastructure enhancements via new disk options for Postgres databases. These high performance disks offer increased storage capacity, improved IOPS (up to 80,000), and enhanced durability (99.999%). The company also redesigned its disk management interface to coexist with the compute upgrade UI, providing real-time cost updates and clear breakdowns of billing changes. Pricing for high performance disks starts at $0.195 per GB, with additional IOPS provisioning available at $0.119 per IOPS.
