If we consider /dev/vda and /dev/sdb as different (physical) disks, this is not easily achievable, to the point that it would be much easier to reinstall the server from scratch and put / into a LVM volume from the start.
If absolutely necessary, this could be done with a lengthy downtime and lots of knowledge about what you need to do. It would be quite error-prone though and I would not recommend to even try.
/dev/vda suggests this is some kind of virtual system. Depending on what the underlying system allows, it might be possible to resize the disk image providing /dev/vda (and if necessary, delete/shrink the image providing /dev/sdb). Talk to your admin/provider. In that case, after the system picks of the larger size of /dev/vda, you could extend /dev/vda1 and then grow the / file system.

Thank you for your reply. Not sure if you are familiar with digitalocean hosting but/dev/sdbit is just an additional volume I bought to my app. As it is an separate space I need to pass it to my root filesystem. Not sure if it is possible at all.
