Vertical Scaling, sometimes referred to as scaling up or vertical scaling out, is a method of increasing the capacity of a computer system by adding more resources to the existing hardware. This can be done by adding more processors, memory, or storage to the system. Vertical scaling is a relatively simple and straightforward approach to scaling, as it does not require any changes to the system's architecture.
