Re:What does it take to run a web app with 5K – 10K users? by jsherer on Friday January 09, 2015 @11:35AM (#8862924)
Most of the servers are workers which fetch feeds. Parallel downloads across a number of low-level commodity servers. Additionally, there's a master and slave Postgres database, a small Cassandra cluster, 2 redis boxes, an elasticsearch cluster, front-end servers, caching servers, etc. Shoot me an email if you want to talk in more detail.
