How deeply does Building Web APIs with ASP.NET Core cover vertical scaling?

Defines scale-up and contrasts it with scale-out, but stops short of implementation procedures or capacity calculations.

Vertical scaling

As explained in Building Web APIs with ASP.NET Core

Vertical scaling is increasing the processing capacity of a single server or node.

Vertical scaling, or scale-up, increases the processing power of a single server or database node. It handles greater workload capacity by strengthening one machine rather than adding nodes. section 4.1.1

Compare vertical scaling with horizontal scaling when choosing a database architecture:

Horizontal scaling, or scale-out, adds nodes to a cluster and distributes workload across multiple servers. section 4.1.1
A single-node design can create a single point of failure, while clustered systems can improve availability through multiple nodes. section 4.1.1
Modern cloud SQL and hybrid database services can reduce the cost of scaling up and add clustering or redundancy to mitigate its risks. section 4.1.1
