Good build up, especially for beginners in this area I think it made sense. I think you introduced the right tools. One I would add is a service discovery tool (Consul for instance but whatever): how else are you going to find all those horizontally scaled services ;)
To me, the beginning was a bit slow though. The example with Stackoverflow took quite some time and I couldn't find what it had to do with horizontal scaling but I could've overlooked something. I liked the clean slides, just one purpose each time, no(t much) text, just right :) Also good that monitoring was addressed, this is the start of scaling out. Last thing: you first talk about Varnish as a good reverse proxy and then show a reverse proxy example in Nginx, maybe switch that to Varnish?

Thanks for the talk!
