Sorry, you gotta overhaul majority of your architecture and its components to scale by every 10x. It's not a single "scaling wall" to break through but it's more of a relentless stream of uphill battles. And this gets even more interesting when you reached to the point where there's no prior art for your problem, usually at hundreds of billions of users.
