Maybe, but that shit isn't easy.

In this particular case, auto-scaling would be too slow, so you'd have to do something more clever. And ticketing obviously has strong consistency issues, so that removes another set of optimizations.

And of course, you'd still have to do all the load testing to make sure your chosen back end really performed correctly, which is a large fraction of the scaling work.
