Food for thought. But what you are describing sounds more performance oriented, not scalability-oriented. Are the speed gains from extra optimization enough to make up form putting more eggs in one basket?
- Jweb_Guru 10y agoScalability is just a means to an end. Most often, that end is better performance. So it's pretty relevant if a non-scalable solution can deliver vastly better performance in practice than a more scalable one (and this is relatively common, especially when you start taking into account things like developer cost, hardware cost, and available network bandwidth).
