🚀Neki Platform Preview Hits 118M Queries Per Second
Neki Crushes Query Benchmarks, 118M QPS
TL;DR
Neki's platform preview hit 118 million queries per second, shattering initial goals. Key for high-throughput read-heavy workloads. Each shard sustained 231k QPS.
Neki's platform preview, released on September 11, 2026, hit 118 million queries per second, blowing past its initial goal of 1 million QPS. This is a big deal for teams with read-heavy workloads, like analytics or data warehousing. Each shard sustained 231k QPS, with 480 Neki routers handling over 2 Tb per second. The test used a simple point select benchmark, with no writes or cross-shard queries.
Key Points
Neki's platform preview released on September 11, 2026, with an initial goal of 1 million QPS.
Achieved 118 million QPS across 512 shards, each sustaining 231k QPS.
Test used a single-shard point select benchmark, no writes or cross-shard queries.
480 Neki routers handled over 2 Tb per second, with p99 latency at 6.06ms.
Each shard ran on an r8g.16xlarge instance, sustaining 15.8M read IOPS.
Why It Matters
If you're running read-heavy workloads like analytics or data warehousing, Neki's 118M QPS performance is a game-changer. Each shard sustained 231k QPS, with minimal latency. But the cost and complexity of scaling to 512 shards may not be worth it for smaller workloads.
