Scalability Strategies

Horizontal Scaling

Scale out by adding more servers and distributing load

Approach:horizontal
Timeline:2-4 months

Advantages:

  • Better fault tolerance
  • Linear cost scaling
  • No single point of failure
  • Easier to scale incrementally

Considerations:

  • Complex data consistency
  • Network overhead
  • Application complexity
  • Load balancing challenges
