+#+TITLE: Scalable API
+#+AUTHOR: Adam Mohammed
+
+* Overview
+
+In this document we take a look at the concept of breaking the
+monolith from the start. By that I mean, what do we hope to achieve
+with the breaking the monolith. From there we can identify the
+problems we're trying to solve.
+
+Part of the problem (I have) with the "breaking the monolith" phrase is the
+vision is too lofty. That phrase isn't a vision it's snake-oil. The
+promised land we hope to get to is a place where teams are able to
+focus on delivering business value and new features to customers that
+are meaningful, leverage our existing differentiators, and enable new
+differentiators.
+
+What do we believe is preventing us from delivering business value quickly
+currently? What we identify there is a hypothesis and based on some
+level of intuition, so it's a great start for an attempt to optimize
+the process. It's even better if we can quantify how much effort is
+spent doing these speed-inhibiting activities, so we know we're
+optimizing our bottlenecks.
