We released a set of changes to our clients (UI, CLI, and Terraform) to make it easier for users to provision Apps and Databases with the desired scaling options. Previously, this had to be accomplished in two steps. For example, previously in the CLI, if a user was creating a PostgreSQL Database using our RAM Optimized container profile and 4000 IOPS, they would have to:

• Create the database aptible db:create (which defaults to our General Purpose container profile and 3000 IOPS)

• Then use the web UI to immediately scale the resource

As you can read, this is a disjointed user experience and we are happy to announce that we have feature parity across all of our clients.

Aptible CLI

• Users can now provide scaling options (container profile, container count, container size, disk size, or IOPS) upon creation of an App or Database via the CLI.

• Now all of these options can be provided in a single command:

  • aptible db:create --container-profile r --container-size 1024 --iops 4000

• The same changes also apply to:

  • aptible db:replicate

  • aptible backup:restore

• The same changes also apply to deploying an App for the first time:

  • aptible deploy --container-profile r --container-size 1024 --container-count 2

• Users can now provide --container-profile to aptible apps:scale and aptible db:restart

New version of CLI available here for download.

Aptible Terraform

• Users can now provide disk IOPS for Database and Replica resources

• We improved the performance of scaling an App resource

Aptible UI

• When creating a Database resource, users can now provide scaling options (container profile, disk size, container size, container profile, and IOPS)
