Based on reading the LinkedIn of the Parler execs, their code is node.js and some Go with Cassandra and Postgres for storage and RabbitMQ for queuing. That sounds like it will run anywhere they can rent a pile of Linux boxes.

They've tried to avoid lock-in, specifically mentioning avoiding any Google technologies in their mobile apps. However, they are using Route53 for DNS, Cloudfront as a CDN, and ALB for load balancing, so there are a few commodity services they'll need to swap out.

It takes more than that to host a site like Parler. They need load balancing, a CDN for performance (good luck there), and security protections (DDoS, in particular). You know any site they stand up will be a prime hacker target. They need some good network and security engineers to keep this site up.

Also depends a bit on how they set it up. If it was all done as code or config then they’re in luck. If they just used the GUI console they’re in real trouble. That will take them until past inauguration which I suspect is the point.

Good riddance to Parler
