    Vertical vs Horizontal Scaling (Short)

    Vertical Scaling (Scale Up): Upgrade a single machine (more CPU/RAM). Easy, limited by hardware.

    Horizontal Scaling (Scale Out): Add more machines/servers. Harder, but almost unlimited.

    ✅ Analogy:

    Vertical → make one person stronger

    Horizontal → add more people to help
