You don’t have to be building a large distributed system for many of the principles they employ to apply though - their approach addresses a couple (but not all) of the Eight Fallacies of Distributed Computing. They do employ some very simple but effective tricks to increase availability - reducing the TTL of just 20 seconds for IP mappings in their LLNS servers is a good example.
