On: WhatsApp scaled to 1B users with only 50 engineers

I would expect there to be certain scaling. Specially when you move to more severs and more redundancy. Cloud solves part, but still not everything. If single person can support 10k or 100k users. You might still need more than that one to move to million or hundred million.

Also some features like language support and such get more complicated when you want to widen userbase from just English speaking ones.

I asked if there was a correlation here, using an if statement as an answer doesn't answer it haha. You're now asking the same question I was, just in-line
