Since the article buried the (technical) lead a bit, I'll just mention that they used Cloudflare Workers.
I imagine Cloudflare Workers is better than AWS Lambda (or Lambda at Edge) at handling sharp traffic spikes, since the use of V8 isolates yields much lower cold start times than AWS's micro-VMs. Does anyone have real experience with both models?
