Just found you guys from the new Joel on Software post [1]:

Congrats on the launch!

Would love to see an infrastructure deep dive post sometime : )

I'm going to point you in the direction of this https://blog.fogcreek.com/hyperdev-tech-stack/ just in case you came across it yourself. As I wanted to make clear that it's now out of date. While a lot of the front-end bits are still true, we've re-done the backend from scratch, so it definitely needs an update.

Here's a quick shallow dive:

AWS: EC2, Route53, CloudFormation, CloudFront, S3

Docker Swarm, Node.js, CoffeeScript, Go

We'll probably do an updated post at some point detailing more of the architectural decisions.

I forgot to add bash, a surprising amount of bash!
