It's a very delayed insight, but when someone says "oh, X scales, BigCo uses it", understand this as the person making the claim to be performing a verbal interpretive dance. It bears only an evocative connection with reality, which is that BigCo's staff teams to keep things running on the rails, and that those investments have a minimum functional size.
That is, without *at least one* fire-fighter on staff full-time, don't expect X to avoid spontaneous combustion.
