Scale your service

When creating a new Aiven service, you are not tied to a plan. Your services can be adjusted to better match your needs. Services can be moved to a higher or lower plan, and to a different tier—Startup, Business or Premium.

1. Log into the Aiven Console, select your project and then select the service you want to scale.

2. On the service page, click Service settings from the sidebar.

3. In the Service plan section, click Actions (…).

4. From the dropdown menu, click Change plan.

5. In the Change service plan dialog, choose the new service plan and tier, if required.

6. Click Change.

Your service is in the Rebuilding state. Once the rebuilding is over, your new service plan will be active on your service. The service is still accessible through the plan-change process.

Note

• You can also use the dedicated service update function to scale your service plan via the Aiven CLI.

• When you perform a service upgrade or downgrade horizontally, remember to include all additional disks the service uses. For example, when switching from Startup-4 to Business-4 or from Business-4 to Startup-4, include all the additional disks available for this service.
