Perf, perf, perf.

Hey everyone 👋. Long time no speak 😉, but for good reason! We’ve had our heads down recently making numerous performance improvements across the whole Avion ecosystem. Everything from infrastructure upgrades to front-end and UX enhancements. Sure sure, you say. But you want to see some cold hard numbers, right?

Stat	Percentage Decrease
Memory usage	↓ 72%
CPU usage	↓ 96%
Functional response times	↓ 93%
Database ops/min	↓ 82%

What do these numbers really mean for you though?

• Faster loading times

• Snappier in-app performance

• Less data consumption required, reducing your bandwidth usage

• A more reliable, robust and overall performant Avion!

Improvements

• You can now just paste from your clipboard with a story open to add an attachment — this works for images and links

• We now handle tables and code markup in story descriptions much better across Avion and Jira

• Tightened up Excel imports, reducing bug potential

Bugfixes

• Fixed a bug where you couldn’t push stories to ZenHub

• Fixed a bug where exporting a release only failed sometimes

• Fixed a bug where pushing to GitHub wasn’t as consistent as we’d like
