I sense sarcasm but just to add on, most software problems actually have very predictable natural upper bounds. There are only X number of people in the world growing at a well-defined rate. There are only X number of people in your country, or in your TAM (e.g. if you're a restaurant) etc. This is especially true for B2B.
The need to accommodate runaway scale (unbounded N and unbounded rate of growth of N) is actually quite rare.
Seems like a great problem to have. Surely one of those millions of employees can be used to change the current system at that point. Until then, no reason to overengineer it.

Yea, and what if my country suddenly grows by 10000%?
