Every application is unique. Some prioritize cost-efficiency. Others demand peak performance at any scale. That’s why Akamai offers flexible managed database service plans. Responding to a need from our customers, we’re introducing a premium option purpose-built for the most demanding workloads.
Developers rely on Akamai’s managed database services for simplicity, reliability, and built-in scale. Our shared and dedicated plans deliver exactly that. But some applications like high-concurrency gaming platforms, media streaming applications, and performance-sensitive SaaS products need even more. At times, the infrastructure that supports these applications requires 100% CPU utilization, hardware optimized for high-throughput workloads, and ultra-low-latency operations.
The new Premium Managed Databases plan is designed for these resource-intensive use cases. It removes the unpredictability of shared infrastructure by offering exclusive access to the latest hardware and system resources, optimized for intense and sustained workloads.
A Managed Database Plan Built for Enterprise-Scale Demands
Our new premium plan is backed by dedicated infrastructure that ensures full data and performance isolation, keeping your application protected from “noisy neighbors.” For applications that consistently require 100% CPU utilization, we provide reserved CPUs and priority access to next-gen hardware, including the latest AMD EPYC™ processors. It’s a fully managed experience with zero trade-offs between ease and performance.
