Learning objectives
- 01Identify a system's real limiting factor
- 02Compare the available scaling strategies
- 03Project needs over five years
Guided lab
Analyse a cohort system and experimentally determine its limiting factor.
Independent lab
Design the scaling strategy for a national registry of ten million entries.
Security angle
Scaling by reducing the number of verifiers trades security for performance.
Assessment
Costed strategy with an experimentally demonstrated limiting factor.
