Too Long; Didn't Read

When scaling your system to accommodate increased traffic and users, you can choose between vertical scaling, which boosts server power, and horizontal scaling, which involves duplicating servers. While vertical scaling is simpler, it has limitations like hardware constraints. Horizontal scaling with load balancers offers flexibility but requires managing statelessness and deploying strategies. Understanding L4 and L7 load balancers is essential, with L4 being more secure and performant, while L7 offers intelligent routing at the expense of efficiency. Choosing the right approach depends on system requirements and balancing security and performance considerations.
