Right, my point is that "paying a million dollars instantaneously" isn't something that Meta would face the way a company with a public cloud infra would, and as a result their motivations / concerns are probably more along the lines of bad user experiences (due to performance bottlenecks) hurting public perception rather than runaway costs bankrupting the company.

You certainly are describing valid concerns but Meta never struck me as being particularly worried about how people think of them; and, I am certain this doesn’t have the ’degrade’ capability at the billion users scale — it would have work queue lengths measured in weeks or more, which is useless for social media.
