in one case I boot a blob and it comes up with everything it needs and starts functioning immediately. there is no ambiguity in which code is executing since its exactly those bits that I constructed it with, and no external service dependencies. if you work in a model where you never upgrade servers, just bring up new ones and turn down old ones, doesn't it seem cleaner? obviously they both work.
