  Performance improvements to Appwrite Cloud

  We've made several updates to improve performance on Appwrite Cloud:

  • Increased the default CPU for function runtimes on the free tier from 0.5 CPU to 1 CPU.

  • Updated Python runtimes to include the --preload flag in Gunicorn, resulting in faster cold starts.

  • Improved the rules fetching logic in the Appwrite router to make better use of caching, reducing latency by up to 50ms for functions executed via domains.

  • Updated Redis HA clusters to improve redundancy and high availability for caching, queues, pub-sub, and shared state services.

  • Adjusted our API and CDN compression logic to avoid compressing small responses, improving performance and making usage stats more accurate.

  These updates aim to make your projects faster and more reliable, especially under high-demand scenarios.

  Expanded event support for users.create

  The users.create event now triggers for OAuth, CreateTeamMemberships, and other user creation methods. This improvement makes it easier to automate workflows like welcome emails or user initialization across different scenarios.

  To support this, we've updated the internal event architecture to handle more complex event types. This lays the foundation for even more flexible event handling in the future.

  Bug fixes and stability updates

  We've resolved several issues to improve reliability across Appwrite:

  • Fixed a bug where 409 responses during runtime creation were incorrectly treated as errors. Requests now retry until the runtime is ready.

  • Fixed CDN 502 errors by refining the server compression strategy.

  • Addressed storage provider 503 errors by adding retry logic, following storage provider's recommended guidelines.

  These fixes improve stability and make Appwrite more reliable for your projects.
