Perforce (the product) doesn't really scale sufficiently for the Googles/Amazons/Microsofts of the world, sadly.
I think they've all moved to custom forks/implementations due to the insane SPOF that Perforce servers are (and their hardware requirements). But up til that point, heck yeah!

- dpark 12y agoWell, Perforce in its default state may not scale sufficiently, but at least two of the companies on that list have managed to make it work (presumably with a lot of investment, though). :) I didn't know Amazon was using Perforce. I interviewed someone from Amazon recently and he indicated they were on Git for most things now.
- gagomes 12y agoAmazon has phased out perforce a year ago. There is very little left, most repositories (perforce, svn, etc) were migrated to git repositories.
