IPC is pretty easy in Q. I'm not saying you could be at Google scale with one machine, I'm just saying you could get rid of your entire stack and just use a bunch of networked machines running Q. Though, for maybe the majority of businesses, a single beefy server running Q would be sufficient. The performance of the language and integrated database is pretty exceptional.
