Sorry, this might be too pedantic, but I can't listen to someone saying that something "solves the scaling problem" when it doesn't. Both of those examples solve the "having more machines when you need them" problem, but scaling is a) domain specific, and b) a logical problem not a hardware one in general. A million machines and an insoluble deadlock is not a scaling solution. I'm sure that you know this, but in case anyone out there less well informed takes that at face value I felt compelled to add to it!
