Application scalability
Application Scalability refers to the ability of an application to handle different levels of usage. A highly scalable application will only require additional resources in order to handle higher usage loads. An application that is not scalable will require modifications to the application itself in order to handle higher usage loads. When programming an application, scalability is an important consideration. Scalability allows a program to handle different loads, but may limit application performance and functionality. In this section on application scalability, get the latest news, research, and tutorials to help make your applications scalable to fit your business needs. Learn techniques for determining how scalable an application should be and discover ways for estimating and optimizing application scalability.
