Description: Read scaling in NoSQL systems refers to the ability to increase the number of read operations by adding more resources, such as servers or nodes, to the existing infrastructure. This feature is fundamental for handling large volumes of data and meeting the demands of applications that require fast and efficient access to information. Unlike traditional relational database systems, which often face limitations in vertical scaling (adding more power to a single server), NoSQL systems are designed for horizontal scaling. This means that more machines can be added to distribute the workload, allowing for improved performance and greater availability. Read scaling is especially relevant in environments where data queries are frequent and where latency must be minimal, such as in web applications, cloud services, and streaming platforms. Additionally, the use of techniques such as data replication and caching can further optimize read performance, ensuring that applications can handle traffic spikes without compromising response speed.
