elastic pools

Elastic pools are a way to share a pool of database resources, like memory and processing power, among multiple databases. Think of it as a common checking account for several individual accounts. Instead of each database having fixed, separate resources, they draw from the shared pool as needed, allowing for flexible and efficient resource use. When one database needs more power, it can use more from the pool, while others can use less when demand is lower. This setup optimizes costs and performance, especially for managing multiple databases with varying workloads.
