One of the authors here. Thanks for enjoying the article!
Re: AWS. We're not at a point where we are overburdened by the AWS spending. Many things are more efficient with AWS, as we have a fairly small engineering team. We use various different AWS products (Aurora, Kinesis, to name a few) that we are utilizing.
Regarding metrics & percentiles - Yes I agree. 99th percentile is what we try to look at the most, as most other metrics tend to be deceiving.
Regular forums - This is something that we need to improve on as we move forward. The blog post mostly describes the infrastructure we've built, but it takes time and effort to become a metric-driven organization.

Pretty unofficial here, but I prefer engineering channel to biz dev channel... Drop me a note, loop in whoever would be interested? I’ve been meaning to get our companies better acquainted — your fantastic write up reminded me.
