The infrastructure has been rock-solid. I’ve never seen a service grow this fast without any noticeable outages. The architecture and execution are obviously informed by serious experience at Twitter, but it’s also clear that management is giving them everything they need to do the job right.

The world has changed quite bit. If you have deep pockets and you can use AWS etc., it isn't a major problem anymore. However, if they indeed run it on their own data centers, that is impressive.

They moved from AWS to on-prem sometime in the last year or two: https://newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/bluesky

And I don't care how many resources you have available to throw at it, plenty of sites would still fall over with the kind of growth they're having.
