Now scale it to twenty million concurrent users.

Are you kidding me? Amazon, on their biggest day of the entire year (Prime Day), reached peak traffic of approximately 290m requests per minute through CloudFront. I would bet that loading a single Amazon page uses much less than a minute and serves more than 10 requests per page load.

If you're not going to be as big as the entirety of Amazon you don't need to serve 20 million concurrent users. Ever.

Ok, pick whatever smaller number makes you happy then. My point is just as valid with 100k concurrent users.
