Scalability Patterns

Scalability patterns refer to strategies used to handle growth in demand for a system, service, or application. In simpler terms, it’s about how to make something work better as more people use it. There are two main types: vertical scaling, which means making a single system more powerful (like adding more memory to a computer), and horizontal scaling, where you add more systems to share the load (like adding more computers to handle users). These patterns help ensure that performance remains strong and resources are used efficiently as needs increase.
