Read Scalability

Scale database Reads

One way to scale performance without incurring downtime is to offload reads to the replicas by adding read replicas to your primary instance. This method enables you to free up write capacity on the primary server. Adding a replica instance does not incur any downtime on your primary instance and is very easy from the Tessell console.
