AWS RDS instances size for hosting the MySQL DB for the container based gateways.

Environment

Resolution

Recommend in lower environment setting up the new RDS in lower scale and test.

Review your database RDS CPU and RAM utilization in the environment, do incremental adjustments and verify if those changes don't cause noticeable performance degradation in production. Repeat until they get their desirable balance between resource utilization and acceptable GW cluster performance.
