Stateless workloads do not store any state within the service instance and can be freely distributed across multiple computing resources, making the scaling process more straightforward and less prone to errors. This is because any instance of the service can handle any request without needing persistence or knowledge of previous interactions, unlike stateful workloads, which require some form of session management and data persistence that may limit scalability.
