If this (http://www.google.com/finance?client=ob&q=NASDAQ:NFLX http://www.google.com/finance?client=ob&q=NASDAQ:NFLX) is any indication, I am sure they are secretly building their farm somewhere as we speak.
On a side note, I wonder why all these companies brag about AWS so much (yeah, yeah, AWS is awesome, I use it myself too) - are they getting endorsement incentives or something?
- bdb 16y agoFrom what I have heard, they are not. They are literally going full speed ahead moving all of their infrastructure (aside of streaming) over to AWS.
- brown9-2 16y agoNetflix has recently started a "tech blog" and is keeping it regularly updated with articles, although so far they mostly seem to be about "How Netflix uses tech" rather than talking about their code, OSS projects, low-level design decisions, etc. I think they're starting to discuss these things a bit more as a recruitment strategy.
