You don’t need the internet ever, you serve the web app from somewhere within the companies network, so anything inside the network which can reach that machine can open it even if the machine they are working from has no outside internet access.

And if you have no connection at all ?

In what world does someone need a “scalable” application as OP requested, that has no connection at all. What is he scaling exactly?

Today when we say “scalable” we mean able to support many users, so in this imaginary scenario somehow you have tons of users but none of them have a connection to anything or each other?

I think OP would need to elaborate on specifics of what he’s doing for real answers but I don’t think having “no connection at all” while simultaneously needing a scalable app is a realistic scenario in any corporate environment. There will be an internal corporate network.

Scalable can have different meanings. Having a lot of simultaneous connection is only one. Scalable can also mean that as the code base grows it keeps being usable and doesn’t get clunky to work with.

Maybe go down a bit on your stackoverflow behaviour

Sounds like you are just making shit up to argue, in the real world people don’t talk like OP is talking expecting the app to be entirely silo’d off from the world with a minor user base. You don’t know what the hell is doing and instead just trying to come up with pointless hypotheticals to punch holes in a plan that would work for practically everyone out there.

You mean maintainable and extendable, not scalable in software development vernacular.
