Scaling Systems

Scaling systems refers to the ability of a system, such as a business or technology, to grow and manage increasing demands efficiently. Imagine a restaurant that can serve just a few diners comfortably. As more customers arrive, if the restaurant can adapt—by adding more tables, staff, or improving kitchen efficiency—it is effectively scaling. In a digital context, a website might handle a small number of users, but through scaling, it can accommodate thousands without slowing down. Successful scaling ensures that quality and performance remain high, even as size or demand increases.
