Stack Overflow is a remarkable company. They bet on C# and ASP.NET MVC 1.0 in 2008 and they still host their own server infrastructure in their basement while being one of the 20 most visited sites in the world.
- DeathArrow 4y agoThey also utilize just a few servers even if they have a massive traffic because they optimize the code. :) A lazy company would use some dynamic language and tons of cloud VMs and pay 100x for the hosting.
- fendy3002 4y agoSome businesses cannot afford to optimize the code because the requirements are kept changing/unclear. Any attempts to optimize will be obsolete in some years. It's worse when the project is outsourced to vendors, since time used for optimization is a wasted cost for vendor, while business is unlikely to pay for optimization unless it's really severe.
