One can achieve scalability in many ways, and if you expect me to provide you with a magical formula you will be disappointed. I actually believe that you can scale almost anything if you have the adequate resources. So saying that X or Y doesn’t scale is for me a sign that people are taking shortcuts in their explanations (X or Y are really hard to scale so they don’t scale) or that they don’t understand the causality of scaling.
