I meant division of functionality rather than horizontal scaling. For instance, all of Netflix consumer facing features making up the 'Netflix app' is a full 1.0. If we subdivide the functionality into pieces the number of functional pieces determines the fraction of the whole application it provides.

But.. if you have 10^6 total instances I don't think anyone would object to you calling them micro.
