I more or less agree, if you are a small company with a small real world userbase, you don't need hyperscaling tech, and thus hyperscaling problems.
I think some companies oversubscribe to reliability technology too. You should assess if you really need 99.9999% uptime before building out a complex cloud infrastructure setup. It's very likely you can get away with one or two VMs.
As I understand, HN runs on a single server with a backup server for failover.
