+### Query performance factor preview
+
+When you create a Pro database with [Search and query]({{< relref "/operate/oss_and_stack/stack-with-enterprise/search" >}}) capabilities, you can now choose to boost your query capabilities with the Query performance factor. The query performance factor adds dedicated power specifically for Search and query. For more information, see [Search and query sizing]({{< relref "/operate/rc/databases/configuration/advanced-capabilities#search-and-query-sizing" >}}).
+
+You can take advantage of extra query speed for free during the preview period.
+
+### Redis 7.4 Preview
+
+A preview of Redis 7.4 is now available on [Redis Cloud Essentials databases]({{< relref "/operate/rc/databases/create-database/create-essentials-database" >}}) in select regions on Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud.
+
+Redis 7.4 offers hash field expiration and other feature set improvements. For more information on the changes in Redis 7.4, see the [Redis 7.4 release blog post](REPLACE LINK).

+### Search and query sizing
+
+When you create a Pro database with [Search and Query]({{< relref "/operate/oss_and_stack/stack-with-enterprise/search" >}}), you must consider the sizing and throughput requirements for search and query when you define the dataset size and throughput for your database. 
+
+Use the [Search and query sizing calculator](https://redis.io/redisearch-sizing-calculator/) to estimate your index size and throughput requirements.
+
+- **Dataset Size**: Add the estimated index size from the Sizing calculator to your expected dataset size.
+- **Throughput**: Enter the total estimated throughput from the Sizing calculator when you enter your throughput.
+- **Query performance factor**: The query performance factor adds extra power specifically for search and query. Select a factor to increase your queries per second by that amount.
+
+#### Query performance factor
+
+The query performance factor adds extra compute power specifically for search and query. When you create a database with search and query, you can select a factor to increase your queries per second by that amount.
+
+We recommend testing your application with a test database to see your baseline queries per second and determine how much you want to boost your query performance. After you have determined your queries per second and your desired performance factor, [create a new database]({{< relref "/operate/rc/databases/create-database" >}}) with the desired performance factor and [migrate data]({{< relref "/operate/rc/databases/migrate-databases" >}}) from the test database to your new database.
