Google Cloud (GCP) Hyperdisk Balanced, Hyperdisk Balanced HA vs Nirvana Accelerated Block Storage (ABS)
Developer workflows, fine-grained security controls, and infrastructure flexibility for your cloud. TL;DR We've shipped a wave of features since the Organizations launch focused on making Nirvana faster to build with, more secure to operate, and more flexible for teams managing production infrastructure: * Equivalent Code Panel → see the equivalent code to create any resource as you build it in the dashboard * API Key Permissions → scope keys to specific projects and resource types with re
A cold read happens when data isn't in cache and has to be fetched directly from storage. This happens constantly in production - after restarts, failovers, scaling events.
Neoclouds are projected to hit $20B+ in 2026 revenue. Here's how GPU-first AI clouds, specialty infrastructure providers, and multi-cloud adoption are reshaping the market — and where performance cloud fits in.
Nirvana Labs March 2026 Roundup — AWS pricing comparison, Accelerated Block Storage (ABS) benchmarks, Nirvana Kubernetes Service (NKS), enterprise SSO & audit logs. Modern cloud for Web3, AI & real-time systems.
TL;DR * Nirvana Kubernetes Service (NKS) is now live. * Run Kubernetes on Nirvana with the same configs and workflows you already use, without managing clusters or infrastructure. * Clusters spin up in minutes with built-in load balancing, persistent storage, and native integration with Nirvana’s modern cloud stack. * Auto-scaling, monitoring, and enhanced security controls are coming next. Today we're launching Nirvana Kubernetes Service(NKS): a fully managed Kubernetes offering built nat
Benchmarking Nirvana ABS vs AWS EBS gp3 and io2 with ClickBench and FIO TL;DR * Nirvana ABS is ~10–14× faster than AWS gp3 on cold-read analytical workloads * Nirvana ABS performs similarly to io2 (within 2× on ~98% of queries) * Nirvana ABS delivers ~20K sustained IOPS per VM in real mixed workloads * Nirvana ABS is ~18% cheaper than gp3 and ~8× cheaper than io2 → Strong default for analytics, blockchain, and data-heavy workloads * Check out the Benchmarking Report Block storage is
Enterprise-grade identity, access control, and visibility for your cloud infrastructure. TL;DR Nirvana just shipped enterprise-ready dashboard features to make it easier for teams to run infrastructure together: * Organizations → central ownership for all resources * Projects → organize workloads by team/env/use case * Members → invite + manage team access * Audit Logs → full visibility into every action * Org-level API keys → persistent, secure, with expiry + IP controls * SSO (SAML) →
TL;DR There are now 3 ways to run infrastructure: * Hyperscalers (AWS/GCP/Azure) → easy to start, but performance is inconsistent and gets expensive as you scale * Bare metal → best performance, but you have to build and manage everything yourself * Modern cloud (e.g. Nirvana) → combines both: fast, consistent performance with cloud simplicity Category Hyperscaler (AWS / GCP / Azure) Bare Metal Modern Cloud (e.g. Nirvana) Deployment Speed Minutes Hours to days Minutes Opera
