Scalability in Distributed Systems

Scalability in distributed systems refers to the ability of the system to handle increased workload smoothly by adding more resources, such as servers or computers. As demand grows—like more users or data—the system can expand seamlessly, maintaining performance and efficiency. This ensures that the system remains reliable and responsive without slowing down or failing, even as it scales up to meet higher demands. Essentially, scalable systems are designed to grow proportionally with your needs, enabling them to support larger operations without major rework or loss in quality.
