A cheap micro container is $5 a month. A cheap dedicated server can be had for $20 a month. Budget is not the issue here.

An expensive dedicated server can also be had for $1300 a month.
Scaling vertically can take you a long long way before you actually have to start separating services.
Ok? That's a non sequitur. No one is forcing you to buy a dedicated server for $1300 a month which probably has the same performance as $250 worth of separate boxes. And separating services isn't what we're talking about here. It's adding horizontal processes across machines instead of on one machine.
