Seamless would not be the word I would use. I would instead argue that what Pokemon Go proved was that Google's Cloud is not of the same quality, at scale, that AWS is.

What exactly shows that?

What it probably shows is that using the cloud isn't a magic bullet to making you scale indefinitely, you need to work on your code to decouple from the infrastructure too.

How do you know it was the cloud and only the cloud? Are you familiar with the application code itself?
How?
