Overview

Aptible Databases can be manually scaled with minimal downtime (typically less than 1 minute). There are several elements of databases that can be scaled, such as CPU, RAM, IOPS, and throughput. See Database Scaling for more information.

​
Using the Aptible Dashboard

Databases can be scaled within the Aptible Dashboard by:
  • Navigating to the Environment in which your Database lives in
  • Selecting the Databases tab
  • Selecting the respective Database
  • Selecting Scale

​
Using the CLI

Databases can be scaled via the Aptible CLI using the aptible db:restart command.

​
Using Terraform

Databases can be programmatically scaled using the Aptible Terraform Provider using the terraform_aptible_database resource: 
 resource "aptible_database" "DATABASE" {
    env_id = ENVIRONMENT_ID
    handle = "DATABASE_HANDLE"
    database_type = "redis"
    container_size = 512
    disk_size = 10
}
