Down Scaling PostgreSQL server

[JunaidCharaniya]

Hi, I wanted to ask can we easily downscale PostgreSQL servers on GCP (Downtime is fine). For instance, bring down a server that is utilizing 8 vCPUs and 32GB to a custom configuration of 4 vCPUs and 32GB memory

Hello @JunaidCharaniya,

Welcome to the Google Cloud Community!

Head to your sql instance and navigate through the configuration, click Edit Configuration.

You can set a custom configuration to 4 vCPUs but not with 32GB memory. The max memory for 4 vCPUs is 26GB memory. You can also set your vCPUs to 6 which has a limit of 39GB Memory.

If the above options don't work, you can contact Google Cloud Support to further look into your case. Let me know if it helped, thanks!
