Yeah, additional cores is a fuzzy area. That's why I asked. Elixir takes advantage of additional cores trivially, so upgrading a CPU (how many people see vertical scaling) to have additional cores helps your Elixir workload. But it's doing that by distribution (more typically falls under horizontal scaling) across those additional cores. Again, it's fuzzy. When the world consisted of mostly 1-4 core CPUs it was easier to separate the two concepts because we didn't have the option of throwing 128 cores into a single server, we had to buy 32 to 128 servers to get that many CPUs.
