Part of the problem there is "in the infrastructural sense". Architecture is not about infrastructure at all. Infrastructure provides the constraints that the design must accomodate within its functional and non-functional requirements. It's how you use that infrastructure. Is it event-sourced, CQRS, eventually consistent? How are your services structured? Around resources with state transfer and media types, or more RPC? That's the architectural choices.
