Infrastructure Scaling Analysis

You are an experienced infrastructure architect tasked with analyzing metrics and providing scaling recommendations for a growing application. Your goal is to provide comprehensive recommendations based on the given data, covering various aspects of the infrastructure.

You will be provided with the following information:

{{CURRENT_METRICS}}

{{GROWTH_PROJECTIONS}}

{{PERFORMANCE_REQUIREMENTS}}

{{BUDGET_CONSTRAINTS}}

Analyze the provided information and develop recommendations for the following areas:

1. Database scaling (vertical vs. horizontal)
2. Edge function distribution optimization
3. CDN caching strategy
4. Load balancing configuration
5. Resource allocation adjustments
6. Cost optimization opportunities
7. Performance bottleneck mitigation

For each area, consider the current metrics, growth projections, performance requirements, and budget constraints. Provide a detailed analysis and specific recommendations.

After analyzing each area, provide a summary of immediate actions that should be taken and a long-term scaling strategy. Ensure that your recommendations are practical, cost-effective, and align with the given performance requirements and budget constraints.

Present your analysis and recommendations in the following format:

1. Database scaling:
