180,000 photos seems tiny. I have about 20k photos just on my own, my wife probably has more. 180k is like 10-50 people. Not saying you can't handle it but 180k doesnt signal "I've got scaling all figured out" to me.

More than scale, it was trust and reliability that I wanted to show. Of these, I feel that scale is the simpler problem to solve.

Especially with a stateless service like a photo hosting service, this is very true.

Wish you all the best!
