I remember seeing discussions in the past where it was said that
Heroku can scale to handle any site, and that there haven't been any
sites yet that have left due to inability to scale.

Is this to say that it is plausible that Heroku's platform could
handle running the biggest applications on the Internet, such as a
massive search engine (say, Google) or a massive social network (say,
Facebook)?

I can see why with the dyno system the scaling is effectively
unlimited, but I'm a little concerned because with only one database
server, it seems like it would be extremely difficult to handle
database-heavy use cases.

Are there any examples out there of really large and popular sites
(especially those that are heavy on the database load) that are run on
the Heroku platform?
