Earlier quoted context omitted.

For someone who doesn’t know much about this stuff, what does that mean?

Ignore them, it's unlikely they know what they're talking about at multiple levels

It’s my understanding that Reddit video was PoC’d by one person using aws lambda.

Severless often gets touted as being the best way of doing things rather than just a way. My comment was a dig at that.

But it seems like my comment somehow exposes multiple levels of ignorance, would love to know what they all are!

It was unclear to me that you were being tongue-in-cheek. Were you serious, I'd point out for starters that A. You probably don't know whether it's serverless currently and B. Even if it were it's not a particularly uniquely likely explanation for consistent latency at scale
