Design Microservices Architecture with Patterns and Principles - Scalability - Vertical Scaling - Horizontal Scaling

The video tutorial explains scalability, which is the ability of an application to handle increasing numbers of requests. It discusses the importance of scaling resources to prevent downtime and reduce latency. The tutorial differentiates between horizontal scaling, which involves adding more machines, and vertical scaling, which involves adding more power to existing machines. It highlights the implementation and performance differences between the two approaches and concludes with a brief introduction to further explanations of vertical and horizontal scaling.

What are the advantages of vertical scaling compared to horizontal scaling?

What factors should be considered when determining the appropriate scaling approach?
