Tiger Data overhauls performance specs: IOPS doubled and bandwidth renotated to MB/s with major real-world increases
What happened
Between the May 11, 2026 and May 18, 2026 captures of Tiger Data's pricing page, Pulse recorded 2 changes: I/O Boost changed from a purchasable add-on (16K/32K IOPS) to included plan specs with higher limits (up to 40K/80K IOPS) for Scale and Enterprise plans; Bandwidth specs renotated from Mbps to MB/s across all plans, representing a significant actual throughput increase. Enterprise: 4,000 Mbps BW → 2,000 MB/s throughput (~4× real increase). Scale: 1,000 Mbps BW → 1,500 MB/s throughput (~12× real increase). Performance: 250 Mbps BW → 250 MB/s throughput (~8× real increase). Tigerdata has standardized on MB/s (megabytes/sec) notation. Pulse files it as a packaging change (feature change, limit increase) with an upward direction. Pulse's latest capture (Jun 21, 2026) lists Performance at $0.04 per compute-hour (0.5 CPU / 2 GB, us-east-1) + $0.18 compute and Scale at $0.05 per compute-hour (0.5 CPU / 2 GB, us-east-1) + $0.21 compute.
This is the first pricing-page change Pulse has recorded for Tiger Data. Tiger Data has been tracked since 2026-05-05.
