Let's learn about Scalability via these 121 free blog posts. They are ordered by HackerNoon reader engagement data. Visit the /Learn or LearnRepo.com to find the most read blog posts about any technology.
Scalability is the ability of a system, network, or process to handle a growing amount of work or expand to accommodate growth. It is crucial for ensuring that applications and platforms maintain performance and efficiency as user demand increases.
If you’re a microservices developer considering communication protocols, choosing an event-driven architecture might just help you rest a little easier at night. With the right design, event-driven architecture can help you to create apps that are decoupled and asynchronous, giving you the major benefits of your app being both performant and easily scalable.
In today’s IT world, there is a vast array of programming languages fighting for mind share and market share. Of course, there are the mainstays like Python, JavaScript, Java, C#, and C++. But nipping at their heels are many recent entries in the programming language Hunger Games such as Clojure, Crystal, Dart, Elixir, F#, Haxe, Julia, Kotlin, Nim, Pharo, Rust, TypeScript, etc. There are even a few not-so-new languages like Haskell (1990), Lua (1993), OCaml (1996), and Racket (1994). And they all want to grab your attention and convince you that they’re the road to programming bliss.
This project serves as a guide/template for a 3-tier architecture. If you are entirely new to Web Development. I highly suggest you watch this video first.
If you’re an architect or developer looking at event-driven architectures, stream processing might be just what you need to make your app faster, more scalable, and more decoupled.
The lack of scalability is known to be the foremost obstacle standing in the way of mass adoption of blockchain technology. All existing blockchain projects look for solutions that could improve the performance of their network.

SaaS is not a buzzword in 2019! It's a proven, efficient and most widely used model to deliver software to customers. SaaS stands for software as a service, which means the software is delivered as a continuous service over the web/internet where the customer doesn't have to download and install the product on his system. Examples of popular SaaS products include Zoho, Salesforce, Mailchimp, Twilio, etc.

As crypto-mania approached its peak in 2017, it seemed like every project was striving to build the latest, greatest blockchain platform, resulting in rafts of mainnet launches in 2018. The reality is that many of those projects have struggled to survive. They’re competing for a limited pool of developers and see little activity beyond a few underused dApps.
Blockchain (decentralized ledger) is an innovative technology that promises to improve many diverse areas of human life. It transfers real-life processes and products into the digital space, ensures the speed and reliability of financial operations and reduces their cost, and allows for the creation of advanced DAPP applications by using smart contracts in decentralized networks.
One of the benefits of Serverless architectures is the possibility of scaling applications without worrying about load balancers and clusters of servers. While services like AWS Lambda hold their promises on this area, there are usually misconceptions about how they work.

The year 2019 is coming to an end, and the blockchain hype seems to be slowly dying as well as the crypto bubble. But is it really dead or maybe now it has to offer even more than it had in 2017 when the total market capitalization of crypto was near $800 billion? In reality, it was something like a great purge for many unprofessional projects. Without investors throwing money at them, they died, like dotcom bubble projects before them. The general audience begins to understand that the blockchain technology isn't something that makes everything it's applied to revolutionary. It has its own applications, where it can shine, such as finances and supply chains, but also there can be many occasions where blockchain is totally unnecessary. For example, maybe creating a decentralized network for dentists isn’t such a good idea?
In cloud computing, cloud scalability refers to the ability of increasing or decreasing the IT resources to meet changing needs. Scalability is an element of the cloud and is the main driver of its popularity in the business sector.
