Hot on the heels of massively speeding up Cloud Container jobs with some Redis improvements back in May we've found another optimisation. This time we've sped up the authentication process that confirms whether a job is allowed to take place, which speeds up every action (think creating a container or deleting a database) by a further ~2 seconds. A smaller win this time, but each improvement adds up to an even more responsive platform.
Underneath the covers of the Cloud Container platform we've greatly improved the service discovery capabilities for new types of containers. This means you can expect to see more Service and Integrated containers, that have more capabilities out of the box.
In some rare edge cases involving malformed docker-compose files, Cloud Container Caching would randomly turn on. And while this is a great feature that many people should use, it will now only turn on when requested.
