scalarium is ~monolithic
cloud ≠ monolithic
cloud ☠ centralized
small, independent services
self-contained
independently deployable
well defined apis

lack of visibility
don’t fall for service level agreements
amazon only handles infrastructure
how you build on it is up to you
fun fact
amazon.com is served off ec2
thank you!
