    Enhance focus on: Horizontal scaling Vertical scaling Horizontal scaling is popularly used in cloud-based architectures, as it allows for almost unlimited scaling. Vertical scaling enhances power of existing infrastructure. To optimise performance, focus on: Data partitioning: improves query performance. Sharding: critical for high-traffic applications. Data Redundancy: replicates information across multiple servers. Cloud platforms like AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud provide auto-scaling features Hybrid data architectures allow seamless integration while providing an efficient way to build and maintain a scalable platform Linkedin's architecture is designed to handle large scale data ingestion and processing in real-time

    Regularly benchmark your system to spot potential bottlenecks and switch to BI tools with built-in scalability. Streamline data management, using compression, tiered storage, or data-lake approaches, to handle expanding datasets efficiently. By continually assessing performance and optimizing data flow, you’ll maintain a future-proof BI architecture.

    To ensure scalability, I focus on modular BI architecture, cloud-based data platforms, and elastic compute resources. Implementing data partitioning, indexing, and decoupling storage from compute helps handle growing data demands without compromising performance or flexibility.
