I am looking for war stories from simple deployments that scaled to large businesses. Does anyone on HN have any stories of running a large business solo, or with just a few engineers?

I just love those stories of "We scaled to $500k+ in Revenue all running on one phsyical linux box with mySQL and Apache."

Perhaps the 2020 version would read something like: "We scaled to massive amounts of users running everything as a static website with FaaS lambda calls wired up to PostgREST".

Thanks in advance. First HN Question so sorry if I am breaking some unwritten rules.
