Good point, that adjective changes everything. In regards to scaling, yes I haven't met performance scaling issues with Python web applications, even when needing long running asynchronous tasks by relying on the ever popular celery and redis, because I've never had somewhat even moderate traffic. In hindsight, I am guilty of over-engineering previous web applications "to deal with potential scaling issues", especially at the infrastructure level, leverage clusters of containers when I could of got away with Heroku.
