if you are at load level when you have million lambdas executing concurrently your monthly bill will make even Uncle Sam cry.

In the case of the blog post at least: It is a 1,000 lambdas making 1,000 queries each.

Well thats very unrealistic workload

Unrealistic from the Lambda side, yes! But we were just trying to generate connections to the DB, not test the capabilities of Lambda

sure I am not criticizing the methodology of load testing, just pointing out that at extreme high loads lambda is too expensive to use.
