Further Enhancing Production Database Scalability in DXP Cloud Services

About a year ago we announced that we are improving the scalability of SQL databases in DXP Cloud Services, focusing first on non-production databases. After seeing the benefits and carefully testing the impact in lower environments, we are now ready to extend this to production. 
 
To recap, the benefits of this new architecture are: 
  • Management efficiency – Our solution simplifies the operation of hundreds, even thousands, of databases. It ensures all databases receive the necessary resources, driving optimal performance across various workloads. 
  • Auto-scaling – The system can intuitively allocate more resources during high-demand periods, maintaining high efficiency and responsiveness under fluctuating loads. 
  • Enhanced access security for SQL databases – We hardened technical controls to maintain confidentiality and integrity of customer data. 
As mentioned in a previous blog post on this topic, this change has a consequence of disallowing developers having direct access to the database and its metrics. We are confident that the benefits mentioned above significantly outweigh this drawback.   
 
We are very eager to now extend the performance and scalability benefits across the platform’s production databases in 2025! Each customer will be contacted by our team at Optimizely to ensure we make this transition as seamlessly as possible. No immediate action is required from customers.
