Will it still work when it gets bigger?
Direct answer
Scalable means something can grow, in users, volume or revenue, without breaking or becoming too expensive. In software it is about handling more load. In business it is about growing faster than costs.
Examples
- A website that stays fast with millions of visitors.
- A software product sold to many customers at a low extra cost.
- A process that works for ten orders and a thousand.
Questions to ask
- What breaks first?
- What does it cost at ten times the volume?
- Does it depend on one person?
