## New features

### Nano billing unit

We added a Nano billing unit for Pro databases with a maximum size of 500 MB and a maximum throughput of 500 ops/sec. Use it to create smaller databases for a lower cost.

### Essentials subscriptions through AWS Marketplace

You can now use your [AWS Marketplace](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rc/cloud-integrations/gcp-marketplace) account to pay for your Essentials subscriptions as well as your Pro subscriptions.

## Enhancements

### Search and query throughput in ops/sec

You can now set the throughput for databases with Search and query in operations per second (ops/sec), like all other Redis databases. This will let you seamlessly scale your query workload in and out as needed. 

## Deprecations

- Setting throughput by `number-of-shards` is now deprecated for the `POST /v1/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/databases` REST API endpoint and will be removed soon. We recommend changing the throughput measurement to `operations-per-second` when you create databases using the Redis Cloud API.
