I don't get the phrase "deploying at scale". What scale do you mean? All sizes are at scale.

If you have exponential growth in usage, how will you grow your network to handle it? Can you do segmentation and clustering? How big can it get?

@Evan Prodromou I agree that's mostly what people mean. I feel annoyed with it, I guess maybe I feel how @Mike Linksvayer does about "model". Maybe "model" is worse, don't know.
Maybe the people talking about "at scale" are pointing to "scale" as a variable with intentionally no point, like a lazily evaluated infinite structure. In which case, I guess I'm the dumb one, huh?
But I doubt people are thinking that far ahead, and are just using buzzwords.
I got no opinion on scale right now, but the point of extra words like model is to make you feel relatively stunned and stupid, thus utter-er is deserving of a (virtual) punch in the face to equalize things.
