Infrastructure Scaling

Infrastructure scaling refers to the ability of a system's underlying structure—like servers, networks, and storage—to grow and adapt to increased demand. When a company experiences more traffic or data, they can scale up by upgrading existing resources (vertical scaling) or scale out by adding more resources (horizontal scaling) to handle the load. This ensures that services remain fast and reliable even as usage fluctuates. Proper scaling helps organizations maintain performance, reduce downtime, and efficiently manage costs while meeting user needs.
