Thanks for the reply and the edit. And you're right, I'm just trying to figure things out before I get to place where the consequences are more real. I could have worded the original comment better, I think it came off as arrogant. If I can find projects that are open source with public documentation of pain points would it be beneficial to read through their discussions etc, to get a sense of the issues these projects faced with scaling, with the goal being to glean some insight into what went wrong and maybe avoid common pitfalls and save myself time trying to reinvent the wheel.
