Presentation: Scaling Stack Overflow: Keeping it Vertical by Obsessing Over Performance

Location:

Day of week:

9:00am - 9:50am

Stack Exchange tech team breaks a lot of conventions. Their stack is a monolith. They scale one of the top sites in the world primarily through vertical scaling. They are further bucking a lot of trends by running their own hardware, and using Microsoft's .NET stack, and having about 50% of their team remote. Clearly they are doing something right, since the performance numbers speak for themselves http://stackexchange.com/performance).

In this talk, David will share some of the things they learned along the way.
