Scalability of Web-Based Systems
Research gap analysis derived from 2 engineering papers in our local library.
The gap
The scalability of web-based systems under high concurrent user loads and large-scale operations is not addressed in these papers, particularly for MySQL, Flask, React, MEAN stack, and AR-based applications.
Consensus across the literature
These papers collectively establish the need for performance testing but leave open the specific scalability issues under varying conditions.
Research trend
Emerging — attention growing, methods still coalescing.
