During the evening hours, Netflix represents over 35% of all internet traffic in the US. That is an insane demand to be able to service, but they've done extremely well in my opinion. Much of their tech is open-sourced leading to much better practices industry-wide and they're transparent when things go wrong. Here's an example of their preemptive work to deal with the loss of AWS/ELB regions: http://techblog.netflix.com/2013/12/active-active-for-multi-regional.html http://techblog.netflix.com/2013/12/active-active-for-multi-... An an example of their post-mortem after deploying Node.js with a bad handler: http://techblog.netflix.com/2014/11/nodejs-in-flames.html http://techblog.netflix.com/2014/11/nodejs-in-flames.html Is there any other service with a library well over a petabyte in size that delivers multiple terabits/second worldwide to millions of customers with better reliability? Maybe YouTube with the backing of a company worth $300B more than Netflix?
