What this post added

Introduced vertical scaling for live indexes with zero downtime, allowing pod capacity to be doubled. Launched public preview of collections for snapshotting and creating new indexes from saved data, serving as a single source of truth for vector data. Introduced p2 pods, a new pod type optimized for high throughput with up to 10x lower latencies and higher throughput than p1 pods, using a new graph-based index that trades off ingestion speed, filter performance, and recall. Also announced ~50% faster queries on s1 and p1 pods, 5x greater capacity on the Starter plan with s1 pods, and updated pricing for new users.
