Seeing that the whole thing is hosted on AWS, which serves as the backbone to the IT infrastructure of a high percentage of large companies nowadays, I don’t think it would crash the servers. My guess would be that they somehow mitigate the impact of a possible serious issue with the firmware by rolling it out in batches - if something goes wrong due to a bug in the firmware, then only a limited number of people will be affected.
