Thanks for the feedback Prem. Our stack in fact performs already as well:

This is a wordpress test on our base stack (nginx → varnish → apache → mysql 5.5 ) with php 5.5. and you can see we compete.
We understand though that HHVM could be preferable on certain situations and we are working on it. You can follow here:

On the packages tab of Server Settings & Packages section you can play with additional packages that can speed up your specific setup (mariadb, mysql server 5.6, newer versions of PHP). We plan to add HHVM there.

Percona DB would be a nice addition to the packages available on Cloudways (if you care about performance).
What You Need to Know About the MariaDB & Percona Forks of MySQL
https://blog.appdynamics.com/database/what-you-need-to-know-about-the-mariadb-percona-forks-of-mysql/TL,DR summary: MariaDB is better for advanced features, the latest security and adapting to new tech. Percona excels at database performance and diagnostics. Either one will put you in good company with cutting edge technology firms around the world.
