My experience is that scaling up can lead to owning pets instead of cattle. It's never fun having a 1TB ATS instance that's acting funky but you're terrified of bouncing it. That's more a devil's advocate anecdote than an argument against scaling up.

But that doesn't mean having say 4x [1] big boxes is strictly worse than having a whole bunch of smaller boxes.
