Benefits of scaling

Sizing and scaling your deployment lets you:

• Maintain low query latencies: Add servers or upgrade CPU and memory resources to ensure your database performs efficiently during peak traffic windows.

• Manage expanding databases: Add storage capacity or partitions to accommodate database growth.

• Optimize costs: Scale down resources or decommission server nodes during quiet periods to reduce infrastructure costs.
