Except, it’s hard to do vertical scaling dynamically.
That kind of kills this whole argument except in certain pretty unusual cases.

Easiest to just create a new instance scaled up vertically and swap it over.
Those two items can be substantial (5x headcount), or they can be merely "standard" (2x headcount).
They're never zero extra headcount.
Whatever isn't the "unusual cases" you mentioned.
> We scale up and down thousands of times a day.
Sounds unnecessary for most cases.
