A scalable architecture needs to distribute work across many threads in order to facilitate all the CPUs of a physical or virtual machine. Locking is the Achilles heel of any multi-threaded architecture. Ultimately, it leads to a state where your system won’t be able to process more data even if you add more hardware.
