Varnish would do just fine, ditto Nginx, or they could have used cloudflare or some other service.

The funny thing for me is that they make it seem as if 10K concurrent users is a 'big deal' for a bunch of static pages. If you're not interacting in real time a little bit of caching or page generation will go a long way towards being able to serve up a huge number of viewers / participants.

I've had 10k concurrent users on a bandwidth-intensive app served statically from 3 $5 digital ocean droplets using nginx. CPU usage and memory usage were not that high. I agree it's not a big deal.
