PostgreSQL: Flexible Shapes and Vertical Scaling
. A flexible shape is a shape that lets you customize the number of OCPUs and the amount of memory for a database system. You can change the shape or hardware configuration of a database system to adapt to changes in performance requirements. For example, you might require a system with more OCPUs or memory, or you might want to reduce costs by reducing the number of OCPUs.
