This came across my timeline today: "How to Scale a System from 0 to 10 million+ Users" https://blog.algomaster.io/p/scaling-a-system-from-0-to-10-million-users

Aside from the question of whether any one service *should* be scaled all the way to 10 million+ users, I wonder what people think of the specific stages and especially the estimated number of users for each stage. My feeling is that the author way underestimates the number of users that a single machine, even a cheap VM, can and should serve.
