2. Software scalability is the capability of a software system to handle
increased work load or expand its abilities without compromising
performance or user experience.
It encompasses the ability of the system to expand, cope with higher
loads and use resources efficiently in order that it remains reliable
and works smoothly as usage scales up.
3. • Scalability ensures software can grow with user demand,
maintaining performance and supporting business expansion.
• It guarantees a consistent, reliable user experience, even under
heavy load, enhancing satisfaction and loyalty.
• Scalability optimizes resource use, reducing costs and improving
efficiency as the system's needs change.
4. Increases capacity of a single
machine by adding resources like
CPU or RAM
Horizontal Scaling
Key Types of Scalability:
Vertical Scaling
Adds more machines or
instances to distribute workload
6. • Pick software tools that can handle growth.
• Look for technologies that can grow with your project.
• Ensure the tools you choose work well together and with your
existing systems.
7. • Find and fix any issues before they become big problems.
• Look closely at the test results to understand where your
system might need improvement.
• Test your system to see how it handles lots of users.
8. • Use tools to watch how your system is doing in real-time.
• If something goes wrong, you'll know right away and can fix it
quickly.
• Define specific performance metrics to monitor and track over
time.
• Use automated monitoring tools to save time and ensure
consistent monitoring coverage.
9. Lack of Planning
Inadequate Resources
Poor Testing
Overlooking Security
Ignoring Feedback
