Scalability

As your database increases in size, you can add database partition servers to the database system to gain improved performance, a process known as scaling the database system.

When you scale a database, you add a database partition server, which in turn adds a database partition to each existing database in the database system. You can then assign the new database partition to an existing nodegroup for that database. Finally, you can redistribute data in that nodegroup to make use of the new database partition.
