Databases And Persistence /
Scale a database
You can increase the resources available to a database, including CPU and memory, storage space, and number of replicas. You should monitor your addon to identify bottlenecks.
You can also make use of high-availability strategies for many addons, to ensure availability and enable automatic fail-over.
See Northflank pricing plans for compute plans available on Northflank's managed cloud, as well as storage and network egress costs.
Scale compute
You can increase the vCPU and memory dedicated to an addon on the resources page. Some databases have higher requirements than others, meaning lower compute plans will be unavailable for them.
Scale storage
You can increase the storage space dedicated to a database on the resources page.
You should increase the storage space for your database once it is over 50% full.
You cannot reduce the storage space assigned to a database after increasing it.
Scale replicas
You can increase the number of replica sets your database will use to improve availability, each replica set contains a copy of the database.
Database replicas can be scaled up from the resources page, but cannot be scaled down. Any increase will be permanent.
