That is a great advice. However if scalability must be introduced later on, it can be really hard as there are many features that have been added to the monolith, and refactoring it to become scalable can be a huge task.

The conditions where the monolith must be converted to a scalable system should be defined as early as possible.

General Relativity states that gravity and acceleration are equivalent, so yes, they cancel out. Unless you look outside you cannot tell whether you are in an elevator standing on ground on Earth (1g), or in space accelerating upwards at 1g.
