12. We Build Scalable Infrastructure
 We’ve built our architecture in the cloud (AWS & DigitalOcean).
 From Amazon AWS we integrated a bunch of services such as
EC2 instances, RDS MySQL, ElastiCache, Load balancers, Elastic
Beanstalk, SQS messaging, CloudFront, S3, Route 53 and auto-
scaling.
 We use Node.js & NoSQL databases (Redis, MongoDB).
 We built our own PaaS using Deis.
