8+# Platform update — May rollups
9+
10+Three things shipped this month that are worth knowing about even if you don't work on the
11+platform team.
12+
13+## Build pipeline cut to under 6 minutes
14+
15+The platform team rewrote the test sharding for `zephyrcart/platform`. Cold builds now finish in
16+5m40s p50 instead of 12m. The savings come from running integration tests in parallel against
17+per-shard ephemeral PostgreSQL containers. Detail: `PR #14228`.
18+
19+## Frankfurt region capacity doubled
20+
21+Customer growth in DACH pushed Frankfurt utilisation above 60 % at peak. We doubled the API tier
22+and the PostgreSQL read replicas. No customer-visible change; latency p99 dropped from 92 ms to
23+71 ms.
24+
25+## Lucene index for product search rebuilt
26+
27+The new schema indexes `metadata.*` fields if their key starts with `searchable_`. Catalog teams,
28+you may now ship the metadata-as-facets work that was blocked on this.
