Logfire dynamic shredding speeds up some queries by up to 1,000x
What happened
On October 12, 2026, Hacker News featured Logfire's dynamic shredding optimization, which splits semi-structured attributes data into strongly typed columns to improve query performance. The report says some queries run up to 1,000x faster, and queries that previously timed out after 30 seconds now finish within 1 second. On availability, the report uses future tense, saying the feature will roll out to all customers starting February 2026; that date is earlier than the report date, and the report does not explain the actual rollout progress.
