Uh sorry what? Azure is the second largest cloud provider, well ahead of google.. That's like the definition of 'web scale'

Not sure what decade you're stuck in here with comments about ajax

Not agreeing with GP but the capacity of their public clouds is very different from total capacity. Amazon and Microsoft have bigger public clouds, but Google's own workload is probably bigger than anyone else's or even the public clouds by a large factor.

I explicitly mentioned the "web", as in, what we're doing right now on this website. Leaving aside the fact that Azure is mostly used big corporate/government entities, there's no web-startup that will potentially dominate the web and that would go into Azure just as.

What makes you think anything being discussed in this thread is specific to HTML and web browsers?
