  6. Database scalability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_scalability

    Database scalability has three basic dimensions: amount of data, volume of requests and size of requests. Requests come in many sizes: transactions generally affect small amounts of data, but may approach thousands per second; analytic queries are generally fewer, but may access more data. A related concept is elasticity, the ability of a ...
