How big does your company get before you need to step away from a tiny handful of very large EC2s? If you have 16CPU EC2 for your business logic, one for your DB, and you're smartly hosting your static content elsewhere or via Cloudflare ...

(Aside from the 'Docker is Useful and K8's follows' point which actually makes sense a little bit ...)
