Twitter used to (not sure how much did that idiot fck it up) be quite great from this perspective from what I gathered. They had technical blog posts and are even featured in the famous data intensive book as an example for many scaling problems. Sure, they didn’t write it in assembly but instead use Java/Scala with Graal, but architecturally they had a sound system (plus what people routinely forget, the system should handle the general load, but it worths nothing if it fails at peaks, and twitter can easily hit a billion daily users during big global events)z
