Abstract
The word scale has been used in the tech world to mean many different things. In engineering, it refers to the process and methods that can lead the product or service to handle often-sudden increases in system complexity, user requests, and actions. It enables the product to continue to perform smoothly, without defects and failures as the company “scales” bigger.
