# Performance vs Scalability |
|
|
|
A service is scalable if it results in increased performance in a manner proportional to resources added. Generally, increasing performance means serving more units of work, but it can also be to handle larger units of work, such as when datasets grow.1 |
|
|
|
Another way to look at performance vs scalability: |
|
|
|
- If you have a performance problem, your system is slow for a single user. |
|
- If you have a scalability problem, your system is fast for a single user but slow under heavy load. |
