🔁 Horizontal Scaling
- Add more servers to handle increased load
- Distribute traffic across multiple instances
- Use load balancers to manage requests
🧱 Vertical Scaling
- Upgrade existing server hardware
- Increase resources (CPU, RAM, storage)
- Simpler to implement but has limitations
🤖 Auto Scaling
- Dynamically adjust resources based on demand
- Automate scaling with cloud provider tools
- Ideal for handling traffic spikes
🛠️ Optimization Tips
- Monitor performance metrics regularly
- Use caching mechanisms
- Implement CDN for global reach
