The engineering team at Reddit manages 250M pageviews per engineer. That has to be some kind of record. Has any other site ever hit the Alexa 100 with only 4 engineers?
Kudos.
- mdonahoe 16y agoPerhaps Craigslist? 30 employees and 20 billion pageviews/month. Not clear how many of those people are engineers. http://www.craigslist.org/about/factsheet http://www.craigslist.org/about/factsheet pg makes reference to it in this essay http://www.paulgraham.com/good.html http://www.paulgraham.com/good.html
- moe 16y agoI find it amusing how many people still assume that a site with many page views somehow needs to have a big engineering team behind it. Yes, 1 billion page views is a relatively serious load, technically. But there's not much difference between a small team building the software to handle it and a huge enterprise department doing the same. In fact, the small team will often produce better results. When given enough motivation, money and coffee.

- khafra 16y agoPlentyoffish claims to get 500M pageviews per month, and is run by just the one guy. I can't speak for the taste and discernment of the people who visited that site 500M times, though.
