Very nice explanation Fernando.

It's a good idea to try Vertical Scaling and see how far it can take you because horizontal scaling adds its own problems to the mix.

Also, thanks for the mention. Glad you liked the article!

This was a great overview, Fernando.

I remember at my first workplace when we purchased our first physical server, then we realized all the unnecessary power we had and invested our money into it. :)

For app development, especially for startups but even for mid-tier tech, I don't think it economically makes sense to buy a physical server and start upgrading it as demand grows.

Thank you for mentioning Bitsy, glad you loved the article!

Scaling Up should come first; Scaling Out must be justified.

Thanks for the article, Fernando!
