Design Microservices Architecture with Patterns and Principles - Introduction Scalability - Why We Need to Scale

What are the two types of scaling discussed in the context of application scalability?

• Vertical and Horizontal Scaling

• Incremental and Decremental Scaling

• Static and Dynamic Scaling

• Linear and Exponential Scaling

Why is scalability considered a crucial non-functional requirement for applications?

• It improves the user interface design.

• It ensures the application can handle increased loads.

• It enhances the security of the application.

• It reduces the cost of development.

What is the maximum number of requests a single server can handle according to the transcript?

• 5,000 requests

• 10,000 requests

• 20,000 requests

• 15,000 requests

What is the initial capacity of the small e-commerce application in terms of concurrent requests?

• 2,000 concurrent requests

• 1,000 concurrent requests

• 4,000 concurrent requests

• 3,000 concurrent requests

What is the primary reason for learning about scalability in the context of the e-commerce business?

• To reduce the number of servers

• To handle a greater number of requests per second

• To improve the visual design of the application

• To decrease the application load time
