But is it web-scale?
summary
Argues that web scale is a 12‑year‑old hype term tied to scaling, availability, reliability and cost efficiency, backing that with a reference to a specific YouTube sketch and a MongoDB marketing slogan plus an actual MongoDB t‑shirt. Uses Google Trends and Twitter to show cloud native and microservices overtaking the vocabulary, notes webscale.com still exists and a Cisco mention, and concludes the term is mostly dead while the problems it named—scaling and availability—remain.
