# Scalability The Open Smart Grid Platform is designed and built for scalability and reliability * Messages will never get lost, In the worst case scenario, a message will be sent to the dead letter queue. * Any layer of the platform can be independently scaled up- and down * Adding servers can be done runtime * It can run in an active-active setup over multiple servers and data centers. In our cloud hosted setup even over sets of data centers in different countries. ![Scalability](https://824268196-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-Mf3CXew4gGGjSc82zik%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-3eeb7032c3acb5df731f3ebd077fa9cd7b511d33%2FOSGPscalability.png?alt=media) --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
