Following last weekend’s infrastructure upgrade, we identified an additional refinement that will help make Tape even more reliable. This Sunday, we’ll perform a short infrastructure review to further improve the stability and performance. We expect only minimal impact for a few minutes. Thanks for your patience while we continue improving the foundation of Tape. As usual, we’ll keep you informed.

Thanks @dirk_s, it’s always great to hear when Tape feels faster.

Improving performance is a core part of our development work and something we focus on and track every day. After the database upgrade, we noticed a few additional areas we could still refine. Nothing critical, but performance is something we care deeply about.

The results are looking very positive, and our tests are showing clear improvements as well. At the same time, we will of course continue working on reliability and speed, as we always do, including with every new feature release.
