Description: Platform scalability refers to the ability of a cloud infrastructure to dynamically adjust its resources, increasing or decreasing capacity based on user demand. This concept is fundamental in the context of cloud services, cloud computing environments, and platform as a service (PaaS), as it allows organizations to quickly adapt to fluctuations in traffic and processing needs. Scalability can be vertical, where resources are added to an existing machine, or horizontal, where more machines are added to the system. This flexibility not only optimizes performance and efficiency but also helps control costs, as companies only pay for the resources they actually use. Scalability is a key component in ensuring that cloud applications and services can handle demand spikes without compromising service quality. In an increasingly digital business environment, the ability to effectively scale resources has become a critical factor for the success and competitiveness of organizations.
