- keshab 10y agoI am sorry, but it seems that Pinterest is written using Django. https://www.djangoproject.com/start/overview/ https://www.djangoproject.com/start/overview/

- ubernostrum 10y agoThere are lots of those lying around. I don't know if it still is, but when I was at Mozilla the service that every instance of Firefox around the world hits to do the version/extension-compatibility checks was backed by Django, and was at something like 15k req/s served. Firefox has gained some market share in the four-ish years since I got that number, so probably larger now.
