Backend stack to prepare for

Before you go about how "stack isn't important, skill is", the purpose of this post to understand what the current market trend is for backend. A bit about me, I'm a backend dev with experience in Node.js, MySQL and MongoDB. Around 4 YoE. My goal is to work in a company that serves customers at scale, and to learn how to engineer at scale. If you work in such a company / know someone who does, what stacks are you/they using and how are they using it? I'm seeking answers in terms of language, DB, cloud providers, etc.

Language: scala, java, golang, rust DB: Depending on the problem maybe mysql, postgres, cassandra or scylldb Cloud gcp or aws doesn’t make much difference unless you are looking for something specific like dynamodb from aws or bigquery from google
