Announcing larger disk plans for Premium, Private, and Shield Postgres databases

Change effective on 21 June 2023

Larger disk size options for Heroku Postgres Premium, Private, and Shield -6 and -9 databases are now available.

You can provision large and extra large disk size versions of these plans. The only difference between the regular, large, and extra large -6 and -9 plans is disk size; the underlying resources, such as CPU and memory remain the same.
