Scalable Platforms

Definition

Scalable platforms are systems designed to handle an increasing amount of work or users without degrading performance. These platforms possess the architectural capacity to expand their processing power, storage, or network bandwidth to meet growing demands efficiently. They typically employ mechanisms like sharding, layer-2 solutions, or parallel processing to maintain high transaction throughput and low latency. The ability to scale is crucial for supporting widespread adoption and robust application functionality.
