I had a recruiter ask me for a .doc version of my CV, which I had written with LaTeX. I explained to him that I had no way to do that, and after he insisted I understood that the point was for him to pad it with skills that prospect employe

Scaling up means each query is faster (3x in this particular case). Scaling out means they can support more clients/domains (more DB shards, more web servers, more concurrency, etc). These are two distinct axes that are not incompatibl
