"We've learned to treat our CDN as a critical layer in our stack and application logic, and to treat latency as a serious issue on the web—Especially outside of the United States."

I love this approach because it means that inefficiency/resource glut on the backend only hurts the service, not the user. If you want to write something quick, dirty, and inefficient, you're free to, and you only drive your own costs up, not hurt the end user experience. It's freeing.
