Scalability is the term we use to describe a system’s ability to cope with increased load

How to determine scalability?

  1. Describe Load. Load can be described with a few numbers called load parameters, which depend on the system’s architecture.
  2. Describe Performance. two ways to see it:
    • increase a load parameter and keep the system resources unchanged, how is performance
    • increase a load parameter, how much do you need to increase resources if you want to keep performance unchanged Use percentiles, not mean. For the dashboard, keep a rolling window of response times in the last 10 minutes. Every minute, calculate the median and various percentiles. Averaging percentiles is mathematically meaningless
