Cursor

DevTools · Multi-Cloud · Native (own / self-hosted weights)

Cursor runs a multi-cloud, event-driven architecture with most CPU/backend services on AWS, major GPU inference clusters on Azure plus newer GPU clouds, and specialized AI workloads on GCP, fronted by stateless gateways, queues, and GPU worker fleets for LLM inference and agents.[6][10] Workspace data and embeddings flow through turbopuffer, Pinecone, and Kafka-compatible streams, with Temporal-based orchestration for agent workflows and large multi-GPU clusters (including Fireworks AI-hosted proprietary fine-tuned models) serving code-focused LLMs.[4][6][7][8][10]

Postman

DevTools · AWS · Direct API

API platform; Postbot AI on OpenAI over API specs/collections.

Replit

DevTools · GCP · Direct API

Cloud IDE whose Agent is built primarily on Anthropic Claude.

Retool

DevTools · AWS · Direct API

Internal-tools builder with multi-model AI app components.

Sentry

DevTools · GCP · Direct API

Error-monitoring; Autofix/Seer uses OpenAI + Anthropic over stack traces.

Vercel

DevTools · AWS · Direct API

Frontend cloud built atop AWS, exposing a global edge + serverless/Functions layer; stewards the open-source Next.js framework. v0 AI is built on OpenAI/Anthropic models.

Atlassian

DevTools · AWS · Cloud-hosted (Bedrock/Vertex/Azure)

Jira/Confluence migrated to an AWS-native multi-tenant platform (Micros) on PostgreSQL + DynamoDB. Atlassian Intelligence wraps OpenAI behind a tenancy/governance layer.

GitHub

DevTools · Azure · Cloud-hosted (Bedrock/Vertex/Azure)

GitHub runs on a large-scale, multi-service production platform hosted on Microsoft Azure, with operational patterns documented by GitHub/Microsoft materials and independent technical writeups. The data layer is commonly described as MySQL at scale with Vitess plus Redis and Elasticsearch, while GitHub also publishes substantial open-source infrastructure and developer tooling.

Supabase

DevTools · AWS · Middleware / wrapper

Postgres backend-as-a-service; AI via pgvector + partner embeddings.

GitLab

DevTools · GCP · Off the LLM map (in-house non-LLM ML)

GitLab.com is primarily hosted on Google Cloud Platform in the us-east1 region, with most application services running on multiple Kubernetes clusters and core datastores (PostgreSQL, Gitaly, Redis, Elasticsearch) running outside Kubernetes. Secret management uses Google KMS for GCP services and Chef Encrypted Data Bags for other host secrets.

HashiCorp

DevTools · AWS · Off the LLM map (in-house non-LLM ML)

Now part of IBM; HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP) for Terraform/Vault/Consul runs on AWS. Core tools are widely-adopted open-source (BSL-licensed) infra-as-code and secrets management.

Linear

DevTools · GCP · Off the LLM map (in-house non-LLM ML)

Linear’s CTO has described the production stack as running on Google Cloud with Kubernetes, using React and Node/TypeScript, with Postgres for primary storage, Redis for queuing, and MongoDB for caching scenarios. The only clearly documented AI-related capability in the provided sources is product-level “AI workflows”; no source here establishes a specific foundational LLM provider in the core production architecture, so model_links is empty.
