I was waiting for a comment like this. It's not like there aren't any projects that should be thinking about "scale", but it's almost a meme at this point. There is even the section there near the beginning about how small web apps without many users 'may have to think about horizontal scaling as well' - no, no they don't. To take part in the meme as well, a single server with Postgres will suffice for what? 99% of companies?
- convolvatron 29d agoits substantially worse than that. anytime anyone uses the word 'scale' without even saying what kind of scaling they mean is guilty of eroding the discourse. at this point I don't think we should even be talking about scaling without meaning 'the Amdahl residual'
