Why? On AWS you can rent a 24 TB, 500 core machine. Almost all problems are smaller than that so don’t need to scale to more than one machine.

Building applications that run on multiple machines is at least one order of magnitude more complex and thus slower (in development velocity), so needlessly building an application to work distributedly is just bad engineering.
