An update by Paul Johnston (paul@roundaboutlabs.com), for a Serverless Architecture scenario. This assumes something akin to AWS Lambda + API Gateway + DynamoDB (c. 2016) Function as a Service (FaaS) solution as the basis for deployment rather than a cloud-based virtual server approach which the original paper was based upon. The FaaS solution implies each function is separately scalable and the database is inherently partitioned (assuming designed/built well).
