Tell that e.g. Tesla
What I've read they burned a lot of money and hat large problems scaling nevertheless. Which I don't find too surprising, not because they are unable, but because it isn't easy to scale.
From my experience and from what I read scaling people roughly a power of ten is a larger change in an organisation and therefor likely a challenge.
For _any_ technical process the boundaries might not be strictly a power of ten but i would say that scaling a power of a hundred is a challenge if this value is not already reached on any process in your organisation.
- onlyrealcuzzo 4y agoTrue. Scaling to - say - Paramount+ size should not be difficult if you're willing to pay AWS / Azure / GCP 10-100x what it would cost to serve it yourself (which in many cases actually makes sense). It's possible at Netflix's size, they couldn't just run on AWS anymore. Though, given enough lead time and a realistic growth curve - I'm sure it's feasible. Obviously scaling manufacturing is not a solved problem like (realistically) scaling network and compute usage.
- yibg 4y agoServing Netflix streaming traffic from AWS would be… unwise. One the bandwidth cost would be enormous even if they can handle it. And two I doubt they can handle that much traffic.
