The only impressive about this thing is technology abuse to do such a slow job on such a large scale. I recall ruby on rails doing at most 150 requests per second on a laptop 15 years ago, which was laughably low even for those days. I could do hundreds times more using c++, or at least tens times more using unoptimized python.

Their achievement should not be praised, on contrary they need to be told they're wasting resources, heating up planet and emit carbon dioxide for no good reason. This is not how optimization looks like. And no, it is not serverless, since obviously something serves that stuff, stop lying already.
