The main app powering coinbase.com, the “monorail”, is a Rails app backed by MongoDB. It’s typically what’s being referred to when breaking out microservices.

Historically most other services were Rails/Sinatra with Postgres. These days there’s a lot more Golang being used for new services.

There’s also some services that are serverless, using Lambda and DynamoDB but these are a minority.
