## Scalability
1616

17-
Historically, Kibana’s scalability was primarily influenced by the number of concurrent users and the complexity of dashboards and visualizations. However, with the introduction of new capabilities such as [{{kib}} Alerting](/explore-analyze/alerts-cases.md) and the [Detection Rules](/solutions/security/detect-and-alert.md) engine, critical components for [Observability](/solutions/observability.md) and [Security](/solutions/security.md) solutions, the scalability factors have evolved significantly.

Now, Kibana’s resource requirements extend beyond user activity. The system must also handle workloads generated by automated processes, such as scheduled alerts, background detection rules, and other periodic tasks. These operations are managed by [{{kib}} Task Manager](./kibana-task-manager-scaling-considerations.md), which is responsible for scheduling, executing, and coordinating all background tasks.

Additionally, the task manager enables distributed coordination across multiple {{kib}} instances, allowing {{kib}} to function as a logical cluster in certain aspects.

* {{kib}} does not support rolling [upgrades](/deploy-manage/upgrade/deployment-or-cluster/kibana.md), and deploying mixed versions of {{kib}} can result in data loss or upgrade failures. Shut down all instances of {{kib}} before performing an upgrade, and ensure all running {{kib}} instances have matching versions.
