I agree with most of what you said, however, Netflix most definitely does not operate at a scale well beyond what most AWS managed services can address. AWS managed services literally sit behind billions of devices, a scale that makes Netflix look small in comparison: https://techcrunch.com/2018/02/27/apple-now-relies-on-google-cloud-platform-and-amazon-s3-for-icloud-data/ https://techcrunch.com/2018/02/27/apple-now-relies-on-google...

Seriously? or are you a member of AWFUL - Americans Who Figuratively Use Literally ;)

  Literally has been used as an intensifier for a figurative expression since the 1800s and has been defined in the dictionary that way for quite a while. It was used in this manner by Charles Dickens, James Joyce and American authors as well. Although, it pisses me off when I hear it used that way.
