SaaS scaling entails the extension of infrastructure, features, and customer capacity without deteriorating the performance. Examples of common pitfalls are cost overruns, bad onboarding and data bottlenecks; the solution to these pitfalls is automation, observability tools and modular architecture.

Scaling SaaS refers to the expansion of infrastructure, user capacity, and product functionality without the downtime. Unstable architecture and the increasing cost are pitfalls, and possible solutions include microservices, automation, and powerful observability tools.
