Yes, I guess it was quick...but I like to point these things out even if no one notices. 
Also, I saw this so[^] it was pretty ugly.

I know. I had the same problem and thought maybe CP had blocked me.

I just had an email to say that two items I ordered on Tuesday would be delivered today! (It's 21:19 local time, BTW) That's not bad - I know they are extra busy what with the lockdown, so an extra day isn't too bad at all.
But ... the items were delivered around 7 hours ago ... and they track the drivers to within meters for every delivery, so they normally report delivery in minutes via email.
I do hope they aren't using AWS - that wouldn't look at all good for it's expansion capability, would it?

Slightly off topic, but...
Current circumstances aside, Amazon delivery is fairly good, but not as good as they think they are in my opinion.
Delivery slot? That will be between 7am and 10pm. DPD can text me in the morning to provide me with an estimated hour slot for their deliveries, which they have yet to miss. Amazon, how about a 3 hour slot which will help a bit?
"Amazon locker delivery will be made before 9pm". 8:55pm I get a text to say they will not be delivering today, just as I am pulling into the locker location.
...and the number of missed home deliveries (as in they fail to turn up) is countless. Yes, they usually extend prime for an extra month in return, but I have to contact them every time for this.
Rant over. Putting the kettle on...
It goes without saying

So long as they maintain social distancing and don't kraut to closely together!
In case the beer drinking gets out of hand, they hired a lady and Leder Hosen down the streets to wash away the mess.

It's a funny thing that the Brits complain about German humour.

Wait. Germans have humor?
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

Well ... they watch Dinner for One[^] every single Christmas ...
And find it funny each time, apparently.

We have the same tradition in Norway: This piece has been broadcast every Dec. 23rd since 1980.
The history books tell that in 1992, by a mistake the play started 15 minutes earlier than announced. People who sat down to watch it at the announced time, discovering that it was already over, made furious phone calls to the broadcaster - there were so many complaints that it was set up for a rerun immediately after the last newscast of the night.

At work there is a push to move our web apps to Azure...
Can't say I have done it before hence I don't have an informed opinion...
Although I can't help but wonder.. if you have a read and write database used by almost any page you serve, wouldn't you say both assertion below are true?
- since the DB is read/write you can't spawn multiple copy of it on multiple server
- since this one server is used for all your queries, you can't really scale your website
Hence, I don't see the point in cloudifying many business app, and certainly ours... Any thoughts and feedback?

Scale-up and scale-out your DB are both options in Azure - the technicality behind it should not bother you, if you are not the maintainer...
As for using Azure... A small bedtime story... We started to use Azure to build or Angular application on every pull request on the Git... We close it every evening and start every morning, as we do not want to pay for hours when noone uses it...
It works perfectly... Except that one day - just after Corona-virus boosted the internet-usage - when we tried to start the machine Azure failed to do so because lack of resources... And that's to prove you that the cloud is only a glorified (partially rightly) hosting plan, that can go very wrong...

Well someone ask me, "is there any point to migrating to azure" and until proven otherwise I see no reason other than sheer daredevil curiosity...
Anyway, I am paid either way... so

We have found it to be cheaper than trying to maintain our own servers and hiring people to keep them updated, patched, running, etc.

This is true regardless of cloud or not. If you want multiple machines you can use load balancing. I believe load balancing is actually easier in Azure than doing it manually.
Super Lloyd wrote: the point in cloudifying
For us, we'd rather let someone make sure the servers are patched, up and running, etc, etc. But if that is not important to you than it may not make sense.

The db issue you point out with cloud is a main reason micro services have become popular. Each micro service generally has its own db. Designing micro services for an application requires some of the same skills as partitioning a db...you have to break them up such that you minimize the number of db updates required to get your micro services into a consistent state. It can become quite complex and if not done well, can end up in a tangled db mess.
Fortunately, I write internal apps, and have only a few thousand users, so have not had to go the micro service route.
