How do you guys make money from being in the deal aggregating business.

- ohyes 15y agoYour 'about' says that you learned Django and Python, is that what you are using for Yipit? What does your technology stack look like?
- AdamN 15y agoThe stack is all Python (2.7) using Django (1.3) on Ubuntu (11.04) and it works great. Python is fantastically easy to program and Django does plenty of heavy lifting. We use the ORM in about 95% of the queries and raw SQL in the other 5% (The Django ORM doesn't handle all m2m queries very well). We use Celery for asynchronous processing and everything is running on Amazon Web Services. We use ec2, RDS, S3, SQS, CloudFront, Route53, and ELB so we are heavily invested on that front.
- vacanti 15y agoYeah. I built the first version using Django but my code has been re-written by our engineers. I'll have our CTO chime-in on the stack.
