It is important to node here that by "Server" they mean the Discord logical server concept which may more generically be called a "community", "group" or "workspace". It has nothing to do with the physical compute architecture.

So a title that would make sense to people not familiar with Discord terminology could be:

> How Discord Serves 15M Members of a Single Workspace

Guild is the internal name and is used on other platforms. "workspace" sounds a bit comically serious to me in the context of Discord.
I thought for a moment that was one mighty machine.
