skaalausmahdollisuus
Skaalausmahdollisuus refers to the ability of a system, such as a software application, a service, or an infrastructure, to handle an increasing amount of work or demand by adding resources. This is a fundamental concept in computing and business operations, aiming to ensure that performance remains acceptable even as usage grows. Scalability can be achieved in two primary ways: vertical scaling and horizontal scaling.
Vertical scaling, often called scaling up, involves increasing the capacity of a single existing resource. This
Horizontal scaling, or scaling out, involves adding more instances of existing resources to distribute the workload.
The goal of skaalausmahdollisuus is to provide elasticity, allowing systems to adapt to fluctuating demands efficiently.
