Worth mentioning as mentioned in other comments that moving video data around at that scale was a bad choice to begin with. They could have considered fargate and avoided moving the data around so much as well and realized similar reductions in cost. So the wins are not really coming from moving to monolith as much as they're coming from optimizing unnecessary data transfers.

If the article said fargate, which is technically still serverless we could have avoided a whole microservice vs monolith debate or serverless vs hosts/instances debate.
