No offense, but yes, you stuck in your ways and likely never shipped a real scalable web app at the scale that is expected today.

- Daishiman 5y ago99% of software projects have, at most, a few hundred users for internal institutional things. The vast majority of engineers have never built things to "scale", and don't need to. Even in large companies the proportion of things that needs scale is very small.
- xupybd 5y agoI work an old Zend App running in two nations that runs on a cheap VM. It's scales far beyond the market and makes real money. We have docker now but that is only to manage legacy dependencies. You don't always need complex infrastructure for scale. Getting your indexes correct, keeping the number of calls to the db low, and tuning your db can do magic.
