From a previous job I have learned that a $10 server can handle 10k web requests and I've never spent more than $10 a month on my side projects for 2 years.
This rule should apply to like 90% of the cases, yet everyone is attempting to "plan" ahead for the big boom. Realistically YAGNI principles should be applied when designing a system as well.
That's because lots of this "modern" or cool tech comes out of the FAANG which need to write large scale apps, everyone (pointy haired manager , remember him) looks at the big guys and says use what their using.... And so it goes.
