Scaling

In Swedish: Skalning

Handling more load without the system crashing. Vertical scaling = bigger server. Horizontal scaling = more servers sharing the load. Modern PaaS like Vercel and Railway scale automatically: as traffic rises, more instances spin up. For AI systems scaling matters extra because each LLM call is expensive — if your app goes viral, costs can spiral.
