Thanks for your comment. Not sure why, but it cracked me up.

If you find an image which is a better fit, I'm open to changing it. My thought process is that services are commonly represented as gears in architectural diagrams. It is a great metaphor for scalable services because a gear is a pretty simple, copyable piece in a larger system. I looked for a pile of gears to indicate multiple copies of a service. But most of the ones I found were behind pay walls. I landed on this one because it has multiples of the same gear as part of a larger system of gears, and it was CC0 licensed.
