# Databases & Analytics - Update your service flavor

**Learn how to adjust the flavor of your Cloud Database or Analytics service according to your needs.**

 

## How to upgrade your flavor

This option is available through the OVHcloud [API](https://api.us.ovhcloud.com/) and [Control Panel](https://manager.us.ovhcloud.com/).

 

### Requirements

- Access to your [OVHcloud Control Panel](https://manager.us.ovhcloud.com/) or the [API](https://api.us.ovhcloud.com/)
- A [Public Cloud project](https://us.ovhcloud.com/public-cloud/) in your OVHcloud account

 

### Instructions

To adjust the flavor of your cluster, log in to the [OVHcloud Control Panel](https://manager.us.ovhcloud.com/) and select the `Public Cloud` menu. Under **Databases & Analytics**, click `Databases` (or `Data Streaming` or `Data Analytics`, depending on your engine) and select your engine.

In the `Configuration` tab, look at the **Service** panel and click `Edit` in the **Flavor** row.

Adjust the flavor of your cluster and click `Edit`. You can also **view** the hourly and monthly costs.

 

## How to downgrade your flavor

This option is currently available via the OVHcloud [API](https://api.us.ovhcloud.com/).

 

### Requirements

- Access to the OVHcloud [API](https://api.us.ovhcloud.com/) (create your credentials by consulting [this guide](https://docs.us.ovhcloud.com/en/manage-and-operate/api/first-steps.md))
- A [Public Cloud project](https://us.ovhcloud.com/public-cloud/) in your OVHcloud account

 

### Instructions

To be able to downgrade your flavor, you must have a threshold of 20% between your current disk space used (base storage + additional storage) and the maximum storage space allowed for the flavor.

For instance, if you have a PostgreSQL® cluster with db1-15 as the flavor and less than 384 GB (80% of 480GB) of disk space used, you can decrease the flavor to db1-7 on that endpoint:

[PUT /cloud/project/{serviceName}/database/postgresql/{clusterId}](https://api.us.ovhcloud.com/console/?section=/cloud/project&branch=v1#put-/cloud/project/-serviceName-/database/postgresql/-clusterId-)
