Resize a Database
Resize when the database needs more CPU, memory, or storage.
When to resize
- CPU stays high during normal traffic.
- Queries are slow because memory is too low.
- Storage is close to full.
- Connection count is consistently high.
What to check first
Before resizing, check whether slow queries, missing indexes, or a traffic spike are the real cause.
After resizing
Watch metrics for CPU, RAM, connections, and disk to confirm the new size helped.
