It's not about whether you expect Google-like traffic, but about whether you expect a Google-like ratio of traffic/compute to capacity. My day job doesn't deal with "Google-like" traffic (maybe one Google product's worth of traffic), but we also only have about 10 servers to ingest what we do get. My current side project I expect to deal with even fewer orders of magnitude but I also want to be able to run it on a single server to keep costs and operational overhead low.
