Heya,
I’m using a hosted MySQL8 DB and a hosted Redis 7 DB, but i’m wondering if i’ve “over scaled” them for the need i have.
Looking at the insights they’re sitting comfortably around 60% memory usage, but rarely goes above 50% CPU usage.
Database Instance ( 4 GB RAM / 2vCPU ):
Redis Instance ( 4 GB RAM / 2vCPU ):
Would it be fine to scale them down or should i keep them where they are at? Both time intervals are set to 7 days, to show an average of the load i’m getting on the instances.
