- GekkePrutser 5y agoOh ok sorry. But Netflix is always touted as the biggest commercial user of FreeBSD. I wonder what they're using it for then if not streaming?
- vulcan01 5y agoNo, you've misunderstood. Netflix (the website and other such things) runs on AWS using Linux. However, Netflix, the streaming service that their website and apps use, runs on FreeBSD and is not on AWS.
