However, increasing hardware capacity doesn’t really solve the problem, and it introduces new ones. And while it’s easy to say “spin up more AWS servers”, you’re only adding to your cloud provider bill. If increasing hardware is the “work harder” answer to header bidding, then “work smarter” is the better option.
