> ## Agent Instructions
> FalkorDB is a graph database that speaks the Redis protocol. Queries are issued as OpenCypher through the GRAPH.QUERY and GRAPH.RO_QUERY commands, not over Bolt or a SQL connection.
> FalkorDB implements a subset of OpenCypher with proprietary extensions. Do not assume Neo4j-only syntax or procedures are available — check /cypher/cypher-support and /cypher/known-limitations before using a clause.
> FalkorDB is the successor to RedisGraph, but they are separate products. Do not present RedisGraph commands, versions, or limitations as current FalkorDB behavior.
> Use the official clients listed in /getting-started/clients rather than generic Redis or Neo4j drivers, and prefer the language the user is already working in.
> Configuration parameters are set with GRAPH.CONFIG SET or at startup; cite the exact parameter name from /getting-started/configuration rather than inventing one.
> This site covers four products: FalkorDB (core), FalkorDB Cloud, FalkorDB Enterprise, and the GraphRAG SDK. Name which one an answer applies to, since setup and operations differ.

# 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](/cloud/operations/export-import) for details on the import from another instance method.
