Gin
Gin is a HTTP web framework written in Go (Golang). It features a Martini-like API with much better performance -- up to 40 times faster. If you need smashing performance, get yourself some Gin.
I've been writing Go for over 6 years, so picking Go as our main backend language was a no brainer, especially considering the great integrations into the general infra space. Most infra code is go, so that helps a lot. As a framework we use Go-Gin, but honestly we could also just use the native http lib. We also have a tiny part of code in C for some cheeky eBPF stuff we got running. YES, we could write that in Rust, but with eBPF the benefits are negligible and C was the first language I learned as a kid:)

For the frontend we're going a bit against the grain of current webdev trends and bet on Nuxt (of course with Typescript and Tailwind) as our framework of choice. This is mostly because Lukas (the co-founder) is a long-term Nuxt.js fan and sponsor! Of course, the frontend is completely hosted on sliplane for proper dogfooding, with Cloudflare as a CDN in front because script kiddies like to test their DDOS scripts on us :).

terraform
Terraform enables you to safely and predictably create, change, and improve infrastructure. It is a source-available tool that codifies APIs into declarative configuration files that can be shared amongst team members, treated as code, edited, reviewed, and versioned.
We manage infrastructure with Terraform and lean heavily on GitHub Actions for CI/CD. Very simple but it works! Oh and a lot of bash scripts of course.

PostgreSQL
Mirror of the official PostgreSQL GIT repository. Note that this is just a *mirror* - we don't work with pull requests on github. To contribute, please see https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Submitting_a_Patch
I (Jonas) am not the biggest fan of data management and database operations, so we try to keep this simple. Our main database is Postgres, with the Timescale extension for analytics stuff. Postgres and Timescale has been absolutely amazing so far. We've scaled far beyond what I thought would be possible and had to do basically 0 optimizations, even though our entire analytics stack with hundreds of millions of rows is all in Postgres! Oh and of course, Postgres is also hosted at Hetzner.

Grafana
The open and composable observability and data visualization platform. Visualize metrics, logs, and traces from multiple sources like Prometheus, Loki, Elasticsearch, InfluxDB, Postgres and many more.
To keep tabs on what’s happening, we use Axiom for logs and Grafana for dashboards and alerts. We pipe all of our logs from most services straight into Axiom and have some pre-defined filters there that help us understand whats going on. With Grafana we have a bunch of custom dashboards that help us triage issues, and more importantly, alert us if some metrics are looking off. Without Grafana, Sliplane could not exist!

InfluxDB
InfluxDB – Built for High-Performance Time Series Workloads. InfluxDB 3 OSS is now GA. Transform, enrich, and act on time series data directly in the database. Automate critical tasks and eliminate the need to move data externally. Download now.
