When I write a bot like this I generally prefer using browser automation (like puppeteer). This requires less reverse engineering and is often a lot simpler and faster to implement.

You have a tiny window to download a huge archive and you can't restart the download.
In theory it's great in practice you don't have access to it.
You can now link the takeout to another cloud provider (e.g. Dropbox or Microsoft OneDrive). And configure the takeout to take place every two month (for up to 6 times).
So you just need to configure the takeout once a year and you'll automatically receive a backup once every two month.

Doesn't CORS generally send an OPTION request first to see if the target site even allows the requests, thus preventing this? That's what I've seen when trying to work around browser CORS limitations.
You can also just do a normal form post request into an invisible iframe that is generated by the attacker's javascript.

I have seen those numbers. You could easily afford paying sysadmins with those numbers.
But managing an IRC server cluster for 10.000+ users is no simple task.
Paying experts in their field (chat tools in this case) is most of the time the most reliable and cheapest variant. You must also include that Slack has plenty of features that are not available in IRC and mean the productivity is not as good.
What does Gitlab have that this is competing with? I know Gitlab's docker registry but not of a package registry.
Yes, it has a package registry feature for NPM and Maven:

Be careful though - we use Aurora PG and it's great for what it does, but they do not support managed upgrades across major PG versions yet! We're stuck on 9.6.x because the time to dump and restore our large DB is a non-starter with the rest of the business.
Did you try to upgrade using AWS database migration service?

What's the latest with EKS? What's missing still?
Nearly everything.
Old k8s version. No upgrade possible. Odd deployment process (not fully automated). Support is unable to help in a timely manner. First deployed cluster was directly broken (no DNS resolution).
We eyed on switching from kops to EKS. But immediately stepped down after experiencing so many issues.
