I get about 150/requests/sec on a $25/month google cloud instance. Each request queries or updates a mysql database. The database is about $200/month though. Although the database doesn't break a sweat until about 1000/requests/sec

Yeah...my takeaway from this article is that they shouldn't be using AWS Lambda. If you wanted to go through all of caching and load balancing responsibly you could serve their load for <$100/month.
