ClusterControl gives you the flexibility and adaptability to add and remove nodes as the environment traffic peaks or changes according to your users’ activity.
Seamless database scalability
Adding nodes to an existing cluster has always presented challenges that make the DBA team wary. ClusterControl automates all the tasks and actions, so you don’t have to worry about them. But that also includes removing nodes to re-assign resources to other environments.

FAQ
I don’t know what scalability my environment might need for now. Can I scale out when I need it with ClusterControl?
Add nodes as you see fit to whichever environment demands it. The database technology deployed and environment size will determine how fast that task takes.
Can I scale out and then scale back down again in an elastic fashion like DBaaS and cloud providers?
This mainly depends on the database vendor, but ClusterControl lets you add nodes and remove nodes accordingly, so you don’t have to read manuals and contemplate the details required.
Does scaling mean taking copies from the primary cluster or node, or can I do it from backups? Can I make changes while adding new nodes?
You’ll be offered a choice when adding a new node about how you want to provision the node, and one of those will be to choose from the list of backups available so you don’t impact the online activity on the other nodes.
