I know! I recently went for a job where when I got to the system architecture rounds they were asking about sharding and setting up a server/db for global level massive scale. I only know what I've done, which is set up EC2/ECS instances that handle small to medium, not massive amounts of load. I don't know this stuff because I've never done it, yet I was expected to come up with a Michelangelo solution.
