Besides application specifics, its how the internet works currently to give low latency. AWS, Azure, Linode etc have data centers across the globe to replicate data near where the people are.

Again, yes and no. While you are right pretty much every larger website will use a cache server in some way (at least in form of a CDN), cache servers really don’t help you in any way for things like a customer canceling their subscription, which is what this post is about. That is all back-end work. Yes, those are probably those app specifics you mention but glossing over them misses the point why solving this is not as easy as enabling auto-scaleing.
