Stripe
Stripe’s publicly documented infrastructure shows heavy AWS usage for observability and operations, plus a sharded/tiered storage design that Stripe built to scale data access and migrations. Public sources do not confirm a core production reliance on a foundational LLM; the available evidence points to a proprietary payments platform rather than an open model stack.
