Scalability

Also known as: Growth capacity, Elastic infrastructure

A system's ability to handle growth—more users, more data, more traffic—without breaking or slowing down. This capability is implemented by tools like Amplemarket to enhance automation and efficiency.

Context

Scalability is why cloud software and AI matter for growth. Traditional methods don't scale—if you need to double sales, you hire double the salespeople. But an AI SDR scales infinitely—it can handle 100 or 100,000 leads with the same team size. Cloud platforms scale automatically by adding more servers when traffic spikes. Non-scalable systems collapse under growth or require massive investment to expand.

Examples

  • 1Netflix handling 200 million users without proportional staff growth
  • 2An AI chatbot serving 1,000 simultaneous customers vs. hiring 1,000 support reps
  • 3Cloud infrastructure automatically adding capacity during traffic spikes
