Scale your Cloud database in smaller steps is Lovable's Editor feature: Lovable Cloud has a new database size .
Lovable Cloud has a new database size . It sits between Small and the size previously called Medium , giving you a smaller upgrade step when Small is no longer enough. The new size takes the name Medium , and the sizes above it were renamed: the previous Medium is now Large , the previous Large is now X-Large , and the previous X-Large is now 2X-Large . For existing databases, only the name changed: nothing was resized or upgraded, and hourly prices are unchanged. If your project runs on one of the renamed sizes, Advanced settings shows a Database size names updated notice. Pick a size in Cloud → Advanced settings → Upgrade instance , or ask Lovable in the project to resize. Resizing takes a couple of minutes and briefly interrupts your app, and you can move back down later. Project editors on paid plans can change the instance size.
