One of the teams of today that do come close - and, incidentally, also in the social media space - is Bluesky: 5M users with 12 devs (and 20 total staff).

Details on their story and architecture / engineering choices here: newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/bluesky

bluesky is a collaborative effort in improving social media, and we're doing it with all of you. 💙

this happened because bluesky's code is open source → ultimate transparency in what we're working on at any given moment.

some users noticed that DMs were coming, and figured out how to run the code themselves to get early access!
