Hi, one of the irccloud team. Can answer any questions if you like.
Some info:
* Erlang, haproxy, rabbitmq, redis, postgres, cassandra, chef
* 10+ billion irc lines stored at the last count
* Thousands of IPv6 IRC connections - we give each user their own IPv6 address. Main site also works over ipv6.
* Thousands of IPv4 connections too
* Open source android and ios apps: https://blog.irccloud.com/mobile-apps-open-sourced/
* API: https://github.com/irccloud/irccloud-tools/wiki/API-Overview
* Details on our security, password storage, etc: https://www.irccloud.com/privacy
I've mentioned this on HN before, but we moved our hosting off Hetzner and on to Black Lotus for the ddos-protection.
We see fairly frequent ddos attacks, from a few hundred mbit to 10+ gbit. They aren't impacting service since we moved to black lotus.
