You're forgetting specifics here and the amount of hardware resources thrown into it. I've already told that I am not discussing here FB/Google/Amazon scale stuff. It is their problem and not shared by more regular deployments
TIL: A day has 48 hours at Amazon.
The same day across multiple time zones could take 48 hours
Of course Amazon would call that an Elastic Sundial.
