This.

I suppose the 96% number might be just a fancy way to claim they reuse the same ALB to power 25 applications, but cost estimates in AWS aren't straight-forward, and instead they are outright cryptic.

Also, mentioning "96% cost reduction" can sound like an impressive achievement in open reduction. However, claiming that they share a single ALB with dozens of independent applications is a very bad ideal all-around which is very hard to justify in any way.
