From their FAQ and blog posts, I don't believe they apply much FHE. Seems what they do is use work from a different subfield [1], which seems to be able to achieve the required speeds and still be able to work with more complex queries.

Techniques I'm seeing in the Pappas et al. paper mentioned in the history section of [1] to do more complex queries seems pretty cool, and I imagine the performance has been improved a bit in more recent work.
