System Design Scaling: Vertical vs. Horizontal, Load Balancers & Sharding (Part 4)

1. 1Design a system using vertical scaling by increasing server power
2. 2Implement horizontal scaling by adding more servers
3. 3Configure load balancers to distribute traffic intelligently
4. 4Apply sharding to distribute data across multiple servers
5. 5Test the system for scalability and performance

System designers, architects, and engineers can benefit from this knowledge to design scalable systems and handle high traffic

💡 Scalability is key to handling explosive growth, and using the right combination of scaling techniques is crucial

💡 Scale your system design with vertical & horizontal scaling, load balancers, and sharding!
