Are you coding your websites for massive scalability?
No, because my websites don't need to be massively scalable, and I do need to do other things.

The web tools I'm responsible for are internal to my company, so there's a maximum of about 1000 users. On a typical day, there might be a few hundred transactions. It might even get into the thousands.

But the more significant thing is that I have to interface with a bunch of other systems (SCCM, Defect Tracking, Requirements Definition, ad hoc Wikis) which are themselves not massively scalable (or trying to be).

If we needed to open up our operation to the world at large, all of those systems would need to be re-considered, at which point my stuff would need to be re-done from the ground up anyway.

Of course, if that ever happens, I'll be rummaging around here to see what my options are - there's plenty of monkish expertise with this kind of operation.
