I agree with the consensus here that the cost issues are a cloud problem, not serverless. Ironically, something like AWS lambda has a default 1,000 simultaneously activated lambda limit, so the platform defaults to throttling.
Not that serverless is perfect.

Could just as easily be in this situation with AWS CloudFront and an S3 bucket. I have seen AWS Lambda generate large bills even with the 1000 concurrent executions limit, but with the help of upstream services. My memory of it is hazy, but I think over a weekend, a function with some dodgy retry logic managed to generate something like 21TB of CloudWatch logs.
