Suppose your ecommerce site starts with 125 items and you decide it's time to beef it up to 1,000? Or your original fulfillment system had orders being emailed to you and now there's enough business to justify an automated credit card processing system.
These are the kinds of good problems everyone would like to have. Still, they are problems. And the ability of your website to rise to the occassion is known as the scalability of the system.Understandably then, scalability is a highly desirable trait.
Of course scalability may be measured in a variety of ways, including :
- quality
- price
- dependability
- development time
- learning curve
