All Lambda does is spin up a bunch of containers to handle that. Why is that any different than traditional options? You would just horizontally auto scale in the exact same way. You don't HAVE to pre-provision anything.
Plus, receiving 1 million requests in one second, you'll have cold starts for every new container that gets created for you, so achieving consistent low latency would be impossible since you don't control that.
