Scalability

Scalable applications are able to process requests at peak times. To avoid hitting the wall on capacity, applications need to be stateless. In this way, the application is able to run as many concurrent requests as possible without them interfering with each other. This is what we call an elastic environment.

• Build a Scalable Application: When developing an application, it is important to consider scalability from the outset. This means designing the application to handle peak loads and ensuring that it can run in an elastic environment.
• Ensure Statelessness: To avoid hitting capacity limits, it is important to ensure that the application is stateless. This means that it can handle many concurrent requests without interfering with each other.
• Utilize Elasticity of Cloud Environments: One of the benefits of cloud environments is that they are elastic, meaning that they can scale up or down based on demand. To take advantage of this, it is important to design your application to scale horizontally across the board.

Xebia has a proven track record of delivering highly scalable systems that use the available resources efficiently and scale in a linear fashion allowing you to utilize the elasticity of cloud environments. Our expertise in immutable infrastructure allows you to create horizontal scalability across the board.
