Explaining the concept of performance and scalability patterns
In a business environment, processes and tasks need to be completed quickly in order to generate responses and solutions. With this in mind, the application also needs to be more performative and scaleable. Performance refers to how quickly an application responds to requests, and scalability refers to the application's capacity to respond to an increase in requests without affecting its performance or capacity. In other words, performance is more about the time it takes to serve a request, whereas scalability is about the system being able to upgrade and downgrade resources where needed.
In a business environment, problems with regard to performance are generally problems surrounding read data or external resources (such as file systems or other applications in a network). Performance problems generated by incorrect logic or algorithms are rarer because business environments generally have logic without a hard code, or codes...
