Scaling creates numerous problems including extreme centralization. On top of that, consumers have to settle for “good enough” versions of products and services they need. It limits career opportunities and entrepreneurship. It also results in monoculture agriculture that ends up poisoning us and the land in the long run.

It’s nasty, fiat minded stuff.

vertical scaling does this, horizontal scaling does not, stuff like replication and sharding and heterogenous networks are all horizontal strategies

centralization uses shortcuts that increase the fragility and adaptability of a system
