I remember there's a Slack architecture case study by AWS[0]. I was a little bit surprised that the architecture can hold such huge traffic.
As a comparison, Discord use's tech stack is more niche and cutting edge[1], but they seem to know very well what they are doing.
It's interesting because AWS use Slack's architecture as a case study because it's a little bit mediocre, that their major potential customers can understand and use. I just don't think AWS will ever use Discord's architecture as a case study...
