Think of an auto that comfortably seats 3 adults. Now imagine more passengers want to join the ride. The challenge is: how do we accommodate them without disturbing the driver or reducing comfort? Base capacity: The auto comfortably carries 3 adults. Scalability goal: Increase the number of passengers without reducing comfort or safety. Constraints: Driver’s ability to operate smoothly, passenger comfort, and ride quality. In computing: New passengers = new users Comfort = performance Driver = core system Extra seats = temporary resources Share-Auto Concept = Scalable System It increases passenger capacity while keeping the ride smooth. Just like multiple passengers share the auto, multiple users share computing resources. The system must scale horizontally (adding more autos/servers) or scale vertically (making one auto bigger/more powerful). The challenge is to keep the ride smooth for everyone, no matter how many join. Issues to Address (Tech Analogy) Each new passenger should be co...
