↔️ Horizontal scaling, also known as scale-out, is a method of distributing workloads across multiple systems or nodes to achieve better performance and 🔂 Reliability.
TakeAways
- 📌 Horizontal scaling distributes workloads across multiple systems for improved performance and reliability.
- 💡 It enables the addition of more nodes to handle increased load.
Process
- Identify the components that can be horizontally scaled.
- Add new nodes or machines to distribute the workload.
- Configure load balancers to distribute traffic across all nodes.
Thoughts
- 📝 Monitor resource usage and adjust accordingly.
- 🔒 Ensure proper security measures are in place for each node.
