Description: Infrastructure scalability refers to the ability of a system to increase its capacity and performance as needed, without compromising its functionality. This concept is fundamental in the technology field, especially in cloud computing and IT resource management. Scalability can be vertical, where resources are added to a single node (such as increasing memory or processing power of a server), or horizontal, where more nodes are added to the system (such as adding more servers to a cluster). The ability to scale efficiently allows organizations to adapt to changes in demand, optimize costs, and improve user experience. Additionally, scalability is intrinsically related to configuration as code, which allows for programmatic management and automation of infrastructure, facilitating the replication and adjustment of resources according to business needs. In an environment where demand can fluctuate dramatically, scalability becomes a critical factor in ensuring service continuity and customer satisfaction.
