Horizontal scaling can improve use cases such as increasing an application architecture’s responsiveness and read scale. Change operations are directed to a specific system, and read operations could be directed to any of the replicas in the environment, allowing for better query response times compared to a single system. Horizontal scaling can also provide high availability, ensuring that it won’t disrupt access to the database if one system goes offline.
