Scalability Metrics

Scalability metrics are measurements that help evaluate how well a system, such as a business, website, or application, can grow and handle increased demand. Key metrics include performance (speed and responsiveness), capacity (maximum workload it can manage), and cost-effectiveness (how expenses change as it scales). For example, a scalable online store should maintain fast loading times and reasonable costs even as more customers shop simultaneously. Monitoring these metrics ensures that as growth occurs, the system remains efficient and user-friendly without significant slowdowns or expenses.
