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.
