I interviewed with reddit over 10 years ago and the company had less than 25 people working out of co-working spaces but still maintained uptime and managed to get by just fine. This was before they had advertising, no trust/safety team, no official app, etc.
- gbear605 3y agoThey definitely used to have more uptime issues, so that’s an improvement. Not sure it really needed two orders of magnitude of employees, but still.
- arbitrage 3y ago10 years ago reddit was certainly not maintaining uptime.
- Eumenes 3y agoNot sure if this is 100% accurate, but looks fine to me - https://www.redditstatus.com/uptime?page=40 https://www.redditstatus.com/uptime?page=40 Regardless, it seems like they managed quite okay with 65x less staff. I guess doing image/video hosting and running a mobile app drastically increased their cloud cost.
