Why is Low-Code so scalable?

Low-code platforms such as OutSystems are built to run natively on cloud services (AWS / Azure / GCP). This makes it easy to increase or reduce resources depending on demand.

With cloud auto-scaling, low-code applications can adjust CPU, memory, and other resources in real time. Traffic spikes can be handled automatically, without manual intervention.

Low-code applications can be deployed in containers (e.g., Docker) and designed as microservices. That enables modular scaling: you scale the parts that need it, not the whole system.

Cloud environments provide fault tolerance and high availability. Resources are replicated and distributed across multiple data centers so applications remain accessible even if something fails.

A cloud-native low-code company can absorb fluctuating user loads without interruption—for example, quickly scaling an e-commerce app during Black Friday peaks in just minutes.

Low-code plus cloud is a strong combination for agile, performant applications that can grow with your needs.
