My first job out of college was working on Fulfillment by Amazon, which was part of sellers central. The place was a huge mess technically, with like three different authoritative databases, and services constantly trying to second guess each other. Everything was in Java and there was no clear central direction. I think this is probably the main drawback to Bezos' cloud of services mandate.
