Elastic scalability

Elastic scalability refers to the ability of a system to automatically adjust its resources based on current demand. Imagine a restaurant that can quickly add or remove tables and staff depending on how busy it is. In the digital world, this means that a cloud-based service can increase its computing power to handle more users during peak times and scale down when the demand decreases, ensuring efficiency and cost-effectiveness. This flexibility helps services run smoothly without wasting resources or slowing down when traffic varies.
