Well Slack depended on the Cloud(tm).

It is a interesting though because a lot of the blog posts like "How we handled a 3000% traffic increase overnight!" boil down to "We turned up the AWS knob".

What happens when the AWS knob doesn't work?

You do what Slack did and call the maker of the AWS Knob:tm:.
