Hi Ben, thanks for your comment!

The text is indeed full of buzzwords. I definitively don't want to promote using them indiscriminately. Applying those techniques together brings all their advantages but also all their drawbacks. And it's by no means easy to do -- maybe something we may target to evolve our system if it ever needs to handle such a large scale.

Nevertheless, I want a way to aggregate interesting concepts to highlight that sometimes they are used together. I really enjoy to try to take this cross-cutting look at system building and that's when the idea of the acronym appeared.
