Yandex is a very BIG company in terms of users, requests, data stored etc. It's surely bigger than Twitter, I believe it is bigger than Netflix. It is also algorithms company (like "not content company") So, when Yandex doing something, is mostly doing it because all other options were failed on their load.
Yandex also has a very extensive expertise in C/C++. There is a ClickHouse, there is a CatBoost. I would trust them in their domain.
- PeterZaitsev 7y agoI respect Yandex a lot. They are fantastic at doing 80% of what Google, Uber, Amazon (combined) do with like 10% of resources - people and otherwise. So their software tends to be super efficient.
- pepemon 7y agoThey are fantastic at loosing their best talent to the western counterparts. Nothing fantastic at all for a big company within other reaches.
- pepemon 7y agoOh well-well, elaborate please about their scale. Bigger than Twitter, bigger then Netflix. Just give us some proof about that.
