Vertical scaling like this will have quite a few physical limits, eg max cores (is it 64?). I would think that they may be fast approaching these limits?. For a an scalable enterprise solution would it not be better, and also more cost-efficient, to horizontally scale. Shard the tables over many nodes.

I had depression and medication turned my life around. I take SSRIs. A more direct answer, along the lines of others, e.g. exercise, how about a cycle journey across your country? Just need a bike and a bivi bag.
