The point of cloud scaling is that it’s dynamic. I don’t have to worry about an upfront cost for server hardware because I just rent as needed. If traffic drops, I decommission instances and vice versa.
After a certain point, my traffic is always high enough that I can justify the upfront server cost. That’s “sufficient scale” as mentioned in the post.
