How to: Resize a database

Last updated: March 3, 2026

You can scale a database up by changing its plan or increasing storage. Both operations are available in the Settings tab.

Change plan (CPU + Memory + Storage)

  1. Open the database and go to Settings.
  2. Under Resize Database, note the current plan.
  3. Click Change Plan.
  4. Select a larger plan from the list.
  5. Confirm the change.
  6. Monitor progress in the Operations tab — the operation appears as ResizeDatabase.

Note: Plan changes may cause a brief failover on Data Redundancy clusters. Single-node Development clusters will have a short period of unavailability during the resize.

Increase storage only

  1. Open the database and go to Settings.
  2. Under Resize Database, click Increase Storage.
  3. Enter the new storage size.
  4. Confirm. Storage increases are applied immediately with no downtime.

Constraints

  • Storage can only be increased, not decreased.
  • Plans can only be changed to a larger tier. Downgrading is not supported.
  • After a resize, the new specs are reflected in the Overview tab.
