 Capacity planning is recommended for cluster sizing before you create a cluster. You can start with estimated numbers of TiDB, TiKV, or TiFlash nodes, and scale out the cluster later to meet performance requirements. You can find more details in the following documents or consult our support team.
 
 - For more information about estimation practice, see [Size Your TiDB](/tidb-cloud/size-your-cluster.md).
