The app is called "Hey". It's not the HEY Stack in the same sense as the MEAN stack or the LAMP stack. It's the stack for the app called HEY.

I'm not sure PostgreSQL sharding ist there yet

i expect that on their bug tracker, issues have been renamed "needles" so that each issue they work on, is a "needle in the hey stack"
