I’m Monzo’s Head of Engineering. A lot of the technologies mentioned above for us are accurate but some aren’t in use - notably PostgreSQL - and some others which are crucial are missing - eg. Kubernetes. The vast majority of the platform runs on AWS. Our engineering team has grown to around 60 now.
