I all but guarantee you they are running "in the cloud". They're distributed across hundreds of geographically dispersed virtual servers and adding more resources is available at the click of a button.

AFAIK, CP is still hosted on one physical server with finite resources. CP just can't scale to meet the demand.

And before you suggest it, cloud hosting CP would cost astronomically more per month than using one server. It's a non-starter without a real funding source.
