I worked in one product that a "simple" re-architecture from rails 3 to rails 5+(async-as-most-as-we-can) was more than enough to handle MAU into millions and simultaneous sessions in high thousands. Enough for a big exit for the founders indeed and having an edge against other players using golang, but with double the headcount than my case.

We also got 98~100 lighthouse by using pure JS with sprinkles of stimulus after the initial rendering.

Thousands of simultaneous sessions isn't all that many, if you are scaling your infra to dozens of servers. Can be handled by a single server, if code is optimized.

4x16gb/2x offpeak pure ec2 deployed with codedeploy that was easily paid and profitable

2x8gb elasticsearch 1x512mb redis 1xRDS mysql 16gb

low thousands/year of cloudflare enterprise

half of the budget (personnel+infra) than the next competitor in the niche I worked
