What tech stacks do the worlds biggest apps use?

Do they publish their stacks or is it mostly a case of guesswork? Twitter facebook instagram snapchat tiktok google et all. Used to be well known Google used Python for their search engine but is that still the case with the scale it is at now? I wonder if they keep their stacks a secret as a competitve advantage?
