Makes me wonder if Quora was set up for continuous deployment from the beginning? The systems used for this type of thing (tracking pushes, tests, start/end times etc) always seem to be highly custom-built. I imagine it'd be a lot easier to build this as you build you site from the ground up, rather than retrofitting it in afterwards.

Quora has taken code quality very seriously. And yes, it was setup for CD pretty much near the beginning. commit 9bcf5be94a6ce3efac5fda8de342a476af52d231 Author: Adam D'Angelo <dangelo@ugcs.caltech.edu> Date: Tue May 19 15:28:20 2009 -0700 autotest work commit 9da3069015ec3b2821f9825eb100a62dcedf70f3 Author: Adam D'Angelo <dangelo@ugcs.caltech.edu> Date: Tue May 19 14:04:43 2009 -0700 add after_git_update.py
