I have this nasty feeling that for the scale mentioned the whole logic can be safely run on a single high performance server with the decent database. Those little servers around can either run on the same server or placed on separate server/s around the main one. All nice and simple and no distributed transaction problems.

I think Waltz is designed for availability, rather than performance. For a company like Wepay, maybe a couple minutes of downtime is incredibly expensive and having a single server just isn't going to cut it.

  Maybe it is "incredibly expensive", can't argue with this. Have hot standby database servers then located elsewhere. Still way simpler
