(I'm on the team that made this)

The raw numbers are one thing, but the overall performance of pg is another. If you check out https://planetscale.com/blog/benchmarking-postgres-17-vs-18 for example, in the average QPS chart, you can see that there isn't a very large difference in QPS between GP3 at 10k iops and NVMe at 300k iops.

So currently I wouldn't recommend this new storage for the highest end workloads, but it's also a beta project that's still got a lot of room for growth! I'm very enthusiastic about how far we can take this!

it's a 70% difference at lower cost. i know math is hard but c'mon try and be serious.
