How is it fundamentally flawed?
Even if it was true, your server can’t handle a couple hundred simultaneous requests? That’s not promising either. Although at least that would be easier to fix than the real problem, which is incredibly obvious to anyone who has ever used this technology, and that’s that it doesn’t fucking work, and is flawed on a fundamental level.

If this was a tech demo, it tracks that they wouldn’t be using overpowered hardware. Why lug around a full server when they can just load up the software on a laptop, considering they weren’t expecting hundreds of invokes at the exact same moment.

“lug around”? the server(s) are 100% in a data center, no way this is a single computer on prem. no company, especially facebook, deploys software that way in 2025

It really depends. A local machine is guaranteed to not have issues if the general internet goes down. It’s also going to reduce latency considerably.
There are many reasons to have a dev box local to the demonstration. Just because they wouldn’t deploy it that way in production doesn’t mean they wouldn’t deploy a demo in that same way.
