If you have a single machine with 64 cores running 256 threads of your daemon that's considered vertical scaling? Odd definition

If multiple cores/threads shouldn't be considered vertical scaling, what should?
Overclocking a single-core processor from 2.8Ghz to 4.2Ghz can only take you so far after all...

Yes, because it's still a single system image (one running OS with one process table).

'Scale up' vs 'scale out' are, to me, more intuitive terms for the same thing. Up/vertical are aligned, I guess

Usually it involves having an insane amount of ram and keeping the entire DB in ram.
