什麼是Scalability，看看他的形容詞的意思：scalable adj.可攀登的
可升級的，這裡Scalability我通常理解為系統的可攀升能力。doc的原意是：

Scalability is a system's ability to process more workload, with a proportional increase in system resource usage. In other words, in a scalable system, if you double the workload, then the system would use twice as many system resources. This sounds obvious, but due to conflicts within the system, the resource usage might exceed twice the original workload.
