This reads like something a freshman college student would write. You're not going to scale to an 80 million pics per day service[0] on a $10,000.00 backend.

[0] Instagram is not an app, but a service.
- GVIrish 10y agoIt's not supposed to scale, this is an article about the cost and time to build a MVP.
- true_religion 10y agoFor 10,000 can you imagine someone building Instagram as it was available on the day it was released? How about 2 months after it was released. 2 years? Sure, there's a point where the scale of Instagram tipped over and they had to hire more than 2 engineers, but that point was 30 million people a day, and even then it was still recognizable as "Instagram" the service and the app. They don't have to set out to duplicate the billion dollar company from day one in order to achieve their goals. Simply being a knockoff from the early days would be good enough.
