# Upgrading Instances

> Change the database size of a Startup, Pro, or Enterprise instance with the edit button. Deployment type and tier changes require creating a new instance and importing your data.

FalkorDB Cloud supports **in-tier** size changes on a running instance. Changing the deployment type or moving to a different tier is not supported in place — use the import from another instance method instead.

## In-tier upgrades

**Startup**, **Pro**, and **Enterprise** instances support changing the database size from the instance page.

1. Open the instance you want to resize.
2. Select **Edit**.
3. Choose the new size and confirm.

Changing the size may restart the instance. Plan the change for a time that tolerates a brief interruption, or use a Replication / Cluster deployment to minimize impact.

## What can't be changed in place

| Change                                                  | Supported via edit? |
| :------------------------------------------------------ | :------------------ |
| Database size, same tier                                | Yes                 |
| Deployment type (for example, Standalone → Replication) | No                  |
| Tier (for example, Pro → Enterprise)                    | No                  |

## Changing deployment type or tier

To change the deployment type or move to a different tier:

1. Create a new instance with the desired deployment type and tier.
2. Open the new instance's **Import/Export RDB** tab and select **Import RDB**.
3. Choose **Another instance** as the source and select your existing instance.
4. Once the import completes and you've verified the new instance, update your application to point at it and decommission the old instance.

See [Export and Import](/operations/export-import) for details on the import from another instance method.
