When the load on a system approaches the capacity of that system, you will typically need to address that situation by increasing the capacity of that system.

You can increase the capacity of a system in two ways: Through scaling – or through performance optimization.

In this video I discuss the different implications for your system and its operational costs depending on how you decide to address a capacity problem (via scaling or via performance optimization).
