Liferay Digital Experience Platform Scalability
My company has 20 people who work on the product. I know that my company has around seven customers who use the tool.
I recommend the product depending on the use cases of the person who wants to buy it. If your use case is to develop a public site, customer portal, self-service, or intranet, I would say that you should go for the Liferay Digital Experience Platform. If your use cases are related to e-commerce, you need to evaluate your use cases against Liferay Digital Experience Platform, and you can use it if you find it to be a good fit. Otherwise, you should search for other platforms.
We haven't yet encountered any scalability issues, except in previous versions, such as v6.2. When we used the search index replication over 6GB of size with two nodes, it was too heavy to move in between the cluster and it failed. It gave us, as a result, a corrupt index and lost results in searches.

This solution is not really suitable for small businesses. Our clients usually are medium-sized and enterprise companies. The smallest company that we are working with that has this kind of solution is about 300 people, and I consider that medium-sized. If you have a company of 50 people who are internal users, I don't think that Liferay Digital is the best solution for you. It is not like taking on a freelancer temporarily so that he builds the website and that is it. You have to maintain the system and you have to know how to manage that.
If they want something more than a simple solution, I think small companies should look something like solutions on the Cloud with built-in functionalities. But, on the other hand, let's say if you are a company of 50 people but you have 50,000 customers. Then you have a significant customer base and you may be able to use Liferay to your advantage. It depends on what you do. If you have extensive work engagement with your customers, that can be a good solution. It has the functionalities to handle more intensive customer relationships.
In any case, it is very scalable both in functionality and the ability to handle a large number of users. It is an enterprise solution.

We have not had any scalability issues so far. One Liferay node is capable of handling a large number of users and a document base.
When it comes to very heavy loads, Liferay nodes can be clustered using simple configurations. With the configurations, we can do many other optimizations to make Liferay quicker, lightweight, and secure.
There is a huge list of case studies that support Liferay’s scalability. We can understand how much Liferay can scale by looking at the Tata Sky portal which is a Liferay deployment and handles massive traffic daily.

The reason Liferay Digital Experience was chosen over other products was the fact that we did not have to pay for user licenses. Liferay supported an infinite number of users.
The business case for the application was the business community in Tanzania to be able to register in the portal and apply for a business license. So however much the users of the system grow we are confident Liferay shall handle the load without any issues
So in terms of scalability, my answer is that Liferay is okay.
In terms of hardware we have multiple servers. The setup we had was for purposes of having improved responsiveness and availability.
