scalability and elasticity

Scalability refers to the ability of a system to handle increasing amounts of work by accommodating more resources, such as processing power, storage, or bandwidth, without a significant decline in performance. It ensures that a system can scale up or down easily based on the changing demands. Elasticity, on the other hand, refers to the ability of a system to dynamically adapt to workload fluctuations by automatically provisioning or deprovisioning resources as required. It allows the system to efficiently handle surges in demand and scale back down during periods of lower activity, optimizing resource utilization and cost efficiency.
