Increasing Replicas

When your account is upgraded we'll automatically update your existing indices to your new plan's replica limit.

The solution is to create a new index with your desired shard size and then migrate your data to the new index. Once complete you can discard the old index and direct your queries to the new one.


Zero Downtime
