What is Scalability in iGaming Platforms?

Definition: Scalability is a platform's ability to handle growing load, such as more players, bets or brands, while keeping response times stable.

Where scalability is tested in iGaming:

Traffic peaks during major sports events and finals.
Launch of a new brand or market on the same platform.
Growth of the game catalogue and live betting volume.

Two approaches:

Vertical scaling - adding more resources to one server.
Horizontal scaling - adding more servers or service instances, often automatically (autoscaling).

How it is checked: load testing before peak events, and monitoring of response times, bet acceptance times and error rates.
