My mention of in-line ASM should have made that obvious that I'm not arguing for pure ASM."
That wasn't me arguing with you, it was an attempt to clarify my position on the matter in light of what else I said.
"You hand tweak your ASM, I deploy additional cloud clusters. We'll see which scales better"
That depends tremendously on, again, the context - including where one already stands on the various curves and on how parallel the problem is.
"(pro-tip: optimization is notoriously prone to diminishing returns)."
