⚖️ Horizontal vs Vertical Scaling

2025-04-01  ·  scaling

In the context of product development:

  • Horizontal Scaling: Selling more units, getting more customers.
  • Vertical Scaling: Add value to already sold/deployed units.

Bigger vs. Better -- both are valid ways to scale and produce value. In this age of powerful connected devices, vertical scaling is becoming increasingly important. And that is where YOUR Platform matters.
