The Next-gen GP tier offers halved latency (4ms to 2ms), tripled IOPS, and increased throughput while doubling storage limits to 32TB and supporting up to 500 databases. New independent scaling controls allow users to adjust memory and IOPS separately from vCores, enabling more granular resource management and cost optimization. Existing customers can upgrade with a single toggle, though it requires a one-time data migration operation. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
