These are the standard options you can use to increase the capacity of your CloudBlue Commerce installation:
| Kubernetes cluster | Database server | CloudBlue Commerce components | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Horizontal scaling | Vertical scaling | Horizontal scaling | Vertical scaling | |
| Add more nodes to your cluster. | Add more computation resources to the nodes of your cluster. |
Increase the amount of CPU, RAM, and disk space. Use disks that provide higher throughput (megabytes per second) and IO throughput (input/output operations per second). Note: If the cache hit ratio of your database server is less than 99%, you must add more memory to your server. To monitor the cache hit ratio, use this formula: sum(heap_blks_hit) / (sum(heap_blks_hit) + sum(heap_blks_read)), where heap_blks_hit and heap_blks_read are numbers provided by PostgreSQL. To learn more about heap_blks_hit and heap_blks_read, please refer to the PostgreSQL documentation. |
Add more Pods for a component. These components support horizontal scaling:

Increase the CPU and RAM limits of a component. |
