The term "web scale" needs to go away; it just doesn't make sense. No one site will ever need to be "web scale" by its definition since it's highly unlikely one site will get all of the web's traffic. The term could only apply to a crawler or something similar that actually consumes the whole web. Your website will either scale or it won't and there are various levels of magnitude, but the term "web scale" is confusing and buzzwordy.
