And can you spot a non json/http based service in their stack ? (no redis and sqlserver don't count because they don't own those) https://nickcraver.com/blog/2

And can you spot a non json/http based service in their stack ?

EDIT: I see they store their redis values in protobuf which is probably more due to memory utilization rather than serialization performance concerns

I can spot, however, kernel-mode HTTP servers (including customized ones), and heavy use of pretty advanced stack with good optimization capabilities. The choices of the stack do make a big impact, something that they have mentioned several times, with the summary of "paying Microsoft licenses paid back very well compared to using popular open-source stacks" Remember, Performance is also a feature. Both a non-functional one (to reduce your costs) or functional one (to have happier users).
