Types of Scalability
Let's discuss the different types of scalability.
Scalability
Applications may be small or large depending on the needs of the project. We have to consider multiple types of scalability such as performance, maintenance, and cost to succeed with our applications over long periods. Let’s take a look at the different types of scalability.
Scalability of performance
Performance is the most common consideration of scalability. As our application gains more users, more data, and more features, we want it to be fast and responsive. An application that has successfully scaled performance-wise will have similar, or at least acceptably slower, response times with 1,000 client connections as it does with 50,000 client connections.
Scalability of maintenance
Maintenance scalability is a significant concern to application developers. Maintenance occurs when we add new features, debug issues, or ensure uptime of an application over time. Poor maintainability means that ...
