Are they rewriting the entire linux kernel from scratch? There's no way that much code has to be re-written.
Who built this website? What stack is it running on?
- pippy 13y agoHealthcare.gov is all opensource: https://www.healthcare.gov/developers/ https://www.healthcare.gov/developers/ Some chunks are made in node.js: https://github.com/STRML/Healthcare.gov-Marketplace https://github.com/STRML/Healthcare.gov-Marketplace They've taken down the source on github, though it used to be all there. The server they're running it on is AkamaiGHost, and likely linux (although I've heard they're running some on it on windows) It's an odd choice of technologies. For scalability I would have chosen something that scales across the cloud easy. I'd put my money on the different calls between organisations being at fault. There seems to be many API calls going on. It would take only one server to be slow to cause a cascading affect.
