Usually what happens is people create lambda functions on AWS which are basically managed functions that get invoked when a request comes in (think a modern version of CGI), and then if there are a lot of requests then the user can easily end up with a huge bill.

Damn.

I suppose the obvious question of why Amazon doesn't have an intuitive way of rate limiting those can be answered by the huge bills people rack up.

Because they have a predatory business model.
