Sorry but I have to disagree. &nbsp;It has to do with <b>ALL </b>resources involved as the application/usage grows.

Hi,<br />
I came across a question which says<br />
Design Flipkart Flash sale architecture. 2 million hits and 20k orders in 2 sec. Find out database scalability. &nbsp;<br />
Now here if we forget about what is flash sale. And some simple application with 2 million hits and 20k orders in 2 sec.<br />
What is this database scalability all about ?<br />
I have made small applications with not so many hits and have always used mysql database.<br />
<br />
Thanks

what is database scalability

Databases are organized collections of data, most commonly accessed through management systems including schemas, tables, queries and processes that allow users to enter and manipulate the information or utilize it in other fashions, such as with web applications or for reporting purposes.

Databases

Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE) is a specification defining a collection of Java-based server and client technologies and how they interoperate. Java EE specifies server and client architectures and uses profiles to define technology sets targeted at specific classes of applications. All Java EE profiles share a set of common features, such as naming and resource injection, packaging rules and security requirements.
