> We need more frameworks that scale from a single box to many boxes, without starting over from scratch.

I'm not sure I really understand what you're saying here. I suppose most applications are some kind of CRUD app these days, not all sure, but an awful lot. If we take that as an example, how is it difficult to go from one box to multiple?

It's not something you get for free, you need to put in time to provision any new infra (be it baremetal or some kind of cloud instance) but the act of scaling out is pretty straight forward.

Perhaps you're talking about stateful applications?
