Using the local storage of an EC2 container is risky: data loss occurs when a container is stopped and it is not replicated by default. As such, people should default to using EBS, which is Amazon's version of a SAN.

With compile time checks you can not only write safer code, but also faster code for the simple reason that alls the checks you do at compile time will not have to be done at runtime.
