## Source excerpt

Do you read this article on a phone? No? Well, I'm pretty sure you have a phone. Fun fact -- I've bought the best phone I ever had, the Nexus 5X, from Amazon. Another fun fact -- there is a pretty good chance you've bought something from Amazon too since it grabbed 4% of US retail sales in 2017. That's a lot! Amazon not only sells things but hosts a significant portion of internet resources thanks to Amazon Web Services. In other words, the company has software developers working on a massive infrastructure we use every day without noticing. How do they keep it together? There is a great phrase from Amazon CTO which we are going to explore.
