Scaling up means increasing the size, scope, or capacity of something.
A business scales up by expanding operations; a recipe scales up when you double the ingredients.
The term is common in technology and manufacturing, where scaling up production means moving from prototype to mass output.
We need to scale up our infrastructure to handle more users.
