It's actually quite relevant. I've worked in mega corporation, 50k employees and above. The inability of third party software to cope with the amount of users is a major recurring blocker for using off-the-shelf software and a big driver for developing things internally.

Most open-source and commercial software advertise that they can scale, but throw the first 500 or 5000 users and it's breaking apart.
