I'm all for decoupling - one of the best ideas to keep in mind - but so many companies fail when the different departments need to work together. Just like in the old days where Operations would say "its a network issue" and Networking would say "its a Application issue"
in this special case it is not a scaling problem.

those are definitely well orchestrated DDos attacks of the newest generation.

believe me i know what i am talking about as we had this problem too.

you will not even mention these attacks on the servers as they are going to the network layers.
