AWS, ~11 EC2 c1-medium boxes (auto scales), one db.r3.4xlarge RDS MySQL server, plus a beefy Redis server (instance size escapes me).

FreeBSD 10 on the EC2 boxes, whatever Linux AWS is running on their managed service instances. Nginx backed by Python and Go servers.

Plus a smattering of other services like ELBs, etc.

I can't imagine having something so critical that you build a custom Nginx plugin. I thought I was cool for doing a bit of Lua scripting. :)
