This question does seem particularly pertinent to microservices, as you are more likely to have multiple data stores. There are several parts to the answer. 
1. The tutorial that follows describes how to scale your cluster for optimal performance. https://docs.memsql.com/v7.0/guides/deploy-memsql/self-managed/memsql-tools/multi-host/basic/step-1/ 
2. You can use Kubernetes, specifically the MemSQL Kubernetes Operator, to scale clusters flexibly. https://www.memsql.com/blog/introducing-the-memsql-kubernetes-operator/ 
3. With MemSQL Helios, our elastic managed service in the cloud, you simply send a request, and MemSQL will quickly rescale the cluster for you. 
4. Please use the MemSQL Forums to give a more detailed description and get a more detailed answer - or file a support ticket, if you have an Enterprise license. https://www.memsql.com/forum/ 
5. Alternatively, contact MemSQL directly for more in-depth information. https://www.memsql.com/contact/
