Dynamic Scaling for MongoDB®
See how easy it is to dynamically scale your hosted MongoDB® clusters in the cloud with zero downtime through ScaleGrid's advanced Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) platform.
The ability to scale dynamically is one of the most important requirements for your hosting for MongoDB® deployment in the cloud, as you want to be able to scale up your deployment with minimal impact.
At ScaleGrid, we allow you to perform a dynamic, in-place scale to scale up your MongoDB® clusters to any instance type or size through our Dedicated and BYOC DBaaS plans.
- Log in to the ScaleGrid console, and visit your MongoDB® cluster details page.
- Click on the 'Scale' icon under the 'Overview' tab.
- Select the new size that you want to scale to.
- Review the configuration details of your scale operation directly below, then click the 'Scale' button.
Your MongoDB® Cluster will now dynamically scale
From that point on, ScaleGrid takes over and provides a dynamic, in-place scale. This is implemented as a rolling operation where we perform the following tasks to scale your deployment:
- Take down one node at a time
- Update the instance type
- Update the disk size
- Update the disk IOPS (if necessary)
- Bring the node back up
- Wait for it to sync up
- Repeat to dynamically scale all nodes
So in this way, as a rolling operation, you can dynamically scale your MongoDB® deployment online. The only impact on your application is that you will see a failover of the master from one node to another.
