Your company's customer database is growing rapidly, and you must ensure that the database can handle an increased number of transactions and a larger dataset without performance degradation. Which feature should you focus on to accommodate this growth?
Scalability refers to a database's ability to increase in size and handle additional demand. By ensuring that a database is scalable, it can continue to perform effectively even as the number of users or the volume of data increases. On the other hand, a 'flat file' system or 'speed' may not inherently support growing user numbers or datasets as they do not address the fundamental architectural requirements needed to scale.
