@pbhjpbhj - I believe the meaning of the sentence is that Troy Hunt is expecting/planning for a few orders of magnitude of growth.

"Soak a few zeros" for example going from 1,000 calls per second to 1,000,000 calls per second.

"Soak" is often used for "take" in engineering circles. "Zeroes" is often used for orders of magnitude in engineering circles. I've never before heard these put together in that fashion, however.
