</div>But why do you even need that for personal projects? Scalability is all<br>
well and good, but a lot of that is dependant on the software you write<br>
as opposed to the hardware you run on. It just seems like gigantic<br>
overkill.</blockquote><div> </div><div>when I say personal project, I actually mean my own startup (but I hate that term) so the idea is that I will need to scale quickly if all goes well. Of course, if it doesn't go well it's overkill, but I'd rather plan for the best ;)</div>
