Vertical Scaling

Increasing system performance by upgrading existing hardware resources.

What is Vertical Scaling?

Vertical scaling, or scaling up, involves enhancing a single server's CPU, RAM, or storage capacity to improve performance.

Vertical scaling is useful for applications with high computational demands.

Key aspects of vertical scaling include:

  • Upgrading server hardware (CPU, RAM, disk space)
  • Reducing latency for performance-intensive applications
  • Handling workloads that require higher processing power

    • Unlike horizontal scaling, vertical scaling has hardware limitations.
