Google overcompensates for a number of practices that don't scale by throwing ungodly computational power at them. I don't know how much CPU forge/TAP consumes these days, but I remember when it was at least 90K cores in a single cluster. It's insane to me that hundreds of thousands of giga-brains are pinned 100% 24/7 to dynamically check literally trillions of things because the combinatorial space was too hard to factor. This is not to disparage the people who built those systems, but there is only so much concrete you can put in a rocket ship.
