Twitch is hacked, and its source code leaked

I'd be interested if someone could get their own instance of Twitch up and running from this leak. Someone mentioned internal API's, which would have to be reworked to avoid detection, but it'd be interesting to host it on AWS just to see how long it takes to get shut down.

How would current AWS policies hold up? Obviously the code would be illegally acquired, but do they have detection mechanisms in place?

Even with source code it is hard to run a service if not impossible. You would need well written documentation that explains various options and error codes you could potentially get.

Many times there is some magic command only one guy knows and he will share with you on slack.

Rubbing a service of any complexity takes years of institutional knowledge.

Please don't rub the services, it causes unnecessary friction, and wear & tear.

100s of services and databases to work out and sort through. Good luck building a global real-time video CDN too. You could build your own faster. Microservice architectures mirror the org that built them. You wouldn’t do it the same way for yourself.
