Calculate cost efficiency of vertical vs horizontal scaling. Large instances often have better price/performance ratio than many small instances for stateful workloads. Cost/request = instance_cost / requests_per_second.
Enter the values for the scenario you are assessing. Calculate cost efficiency of vertical vs horizontal scaling. Large instances often have better price/performance ratio than many small instances for stateful workloads. Cost/request = instance_cost / requests_per_second. Use the vertical scaling cost result to inform your calculation.
