Scale Your DocumentDB Database Without Downtime

Allocate more resources to a DocumentDB Capsule as your workload grows. Open the Scale tab on the capsule dashboard and click Edit in the Capsule Capacity section. You can only edit capacity while the capsule is running.

Select a plan, or choose Custom to adjust resources to your requirements:

Resource	Description
CPU	Processing power allocated to the capsule
RAM	Memory available to the capsule
Storage	Disk space for database data
Scale	Number of replicas

Click Save to apply your changes.

The right-hand panel shows estimated monthly costs for your selected plan.

tip

For managed scaling, version upgrades, and Atlas-backed operations, consider migrating to a MongoDB Capsule.
