This document discusses scalability and the differences between vertical and horizontal scaling. It notes that scalability is measured by the number of requests an application can handle simultaneously. Vertical scaling strengthens existing infrastructure by adding more resources like CPU and RAM to a single node. Horizontal scaling splits the load across multiple servers by adding more identical machines without changing existing specifications. NGINX is mentioned as a popular open-source load balancing software used in industry.

Monolithic Architecture
Request per Second and Acceptable Latency
What is scalability ?

• Scalability is simply measured by the number of requests an


application can handle successfully. It can be measured by
the number of requests and it can effectively
support simultaneously. Once the application can no longer handle
any more simultaneous requests, it has reached its scalability limit.
• When your business to grow, in order to prevent downtime,
and reduce latency, you must scale your resources accordingly. You
can scale these resources through a combination of the network
bandwidth, CPU and physical memory requirements, and hard disk
adjustments.
What’s the main difference?
• Vertical scaling is basically makes Horizontal scaling basically means splitting the load
