How to handle big workloads with minimal infrastructure?

What are some real world examples of handling huge workloads and traffic with rather simple infrastructure setups?

Like the much decried “put everything on a single server till you get a million hits a day on your site”

The Pirate Bay uses/used a relatively simple setup (not sure if it's still the same): https://torrentfreak.com/the-pirate-bay-runs-on-21-raid-proo...

Depends on the site... Cloudflare 200/mo you need minimal infrastructure behind the scenes if Cloudflare takes the hit, start small, scale up as and when things get busy.

Serverless Framework has issues but it’s pretty low ops.

You just can’t beat Kube for scale though.
