Cloudflare unlocks Quicksilver speed for Workers KV in private beta
A single read request in Cloudflare's classic Workers KV takes 287 milliseconds at p99. That same operation in the new private beta, which taps the internal Quicksilver key-value store, finishes in 1.62 milliseconds. The tradeoffs are real: 10,000 keys per namespace, one megabyte per namespace, one write per second. This isn't for everything, but for the workloads it fits, the speed leap is dramatic.

Perplexity Transforms Search with CobbleDB, Achieving 5x Faster Queries
Perplexity has quietly rebuilt its search backbone, moving from Amazon DynamoDB to CobbleDB, its own key-value store written in Rust. The result is a fivefold speed boost and lower costs on large document batches, all while handling serious production traffic. That is the kind of infrastructure bet most teams talk about but rarely pull off. For deeper looks at similar moves, Cloudflare's blog migration to EmDash shows how internal tools can reshape performance.
