Is "internet scale" the new "web scale"?
2 comments

"internet scale" is something of a term of art at Google. It's generally used to mean "scales to build systems that do things like 'search the entire contents of the Internet'"
10s of billions of requests per second sounds like it needs a new term compared to 10s of billions of requests per day.
