I think they used the word "monolith" to denote that 4 different things[1] (orchestration, detection, media converter, aggregation) were running together within a ECS task/container. Rather than each in their own, separate, horizontally scalable thing. So there was horizontal scaling, but not independent horizontal scaling for each of the 4 things. The original article[2] about moving to a monolith didn't say much about how those 4 things were built..one binary/script, more? So I think just a bunch of confusion on what was meant by "monolith".
