Honestly, a lot of people overengineer the scaling thing.

Google really does need a service that can scale to 100M users.

I doubt someone starting a SaaS to make garbage truck software needs to. Or at a minimum, at the time they need that kind of scale, they will have plenty of money to throw at hardware. It's amazing how many users a single maxed DB can handle.
