- Scalability is the property of a system to handle a growing amount of work by adding resources to the system. In an economic context, a scalable business model implies that a company can increase sales given increased resources. For example, a package delivery system is scalable because more packages can be delivered by adding more delivery vehicles. However, if all packages had to first pass through a single warehouse for sorting, the system would not be scalable, because one warehouse can handle only a limited number of packages. [1] In computing, scalability is a characteristic of computers, networks, algorithms, networking protocols, programs and applications. An example is a search engine, which must support increasing numbers of users, and the number of topics it indexes.

- QUOTE: The main objectives are to build a system that:
- Reduces latency;
- Is integrated but loosely coupled with the other parts of the system, e.g. data stores, reporting, graphical user interface;
- Can scale both horizontally and vertically;
- Is message driven i.e. the system communicates via asynchronous, non-blocking message passing;
- Provides efficient computation with regards to workload management;
- Is fault-tolerant and self healing i.e. breakdown management;
- Supports batch and real-time processing.
