What's that written in?
I wonder if we can have a thread listing technology stacks of various existing sites and services. For example, I'm curious what stack is used for kayak.com. Both frontend and backend, if there's any difference. I'm sure I can come up with many other examples later, e.g. Yelp. Any others?
- Travis 16y agoI suspect that most of these large players have very heterogeneous environments, and will use a combination of 5-10 different languages depending on the task. E.g., SQL db for production, but NoSQL for log analysis.
- turar 16y agoI agree, but even for the largest players, there are broad "themes". E.g. Amazon's core retail frontend is written in Perl Mason, but most of backend services are written in Java and C++ with Oracle as a primary DB choice.
