Now in public preview, you can now enable storage autoscaling on all Managed Database engines. To enable autoscaling, see our resizing guides for MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, OpenSearch, and Kafka.

Storage autoscaling is now in general availability. Additionally, you can now reduce your cluster’s amount of additional storage, as long as the new storage size is greater than or equal to the latest backup’s size plus any data growth since then and a 25% buffer.

The DOKS database operator, which facilitated integration of DOKS clusters with managed databases, is deprecated. Your existing databases remain operational and the operator-related CRDs are not removed. You can use the DigitalOcean API, CLI, or control panel to manage the databases created with the operator.
