How do I migrate data from a smaller managed DB to a larger managed DB?
I understand how to monitor my managed db (https://www.linode.com/community/questions/23547/how-can-i-monitor-the-performance-of-a-managed-database-cluster). How would I migrate my data from a smaller managed db to a larger managed db if i need more resources? I'm using a django app with postgres.

While we don't offer the ability to scale your current Managed Database, you'll need to deploy a new, larger database and then import your existing database into it. We have this guide that shows you the step-by-step process for exporting/importing your database. After all the data is moved to the larger cluster, you can delete the original one in order to prevent it from accruing additional charges.
