Voat is an ASP.NET application running on windows servers with IIS. As someone with a lot of experience in that stack, I can understand why they're struggling - scaling is more difficult and more expensive on a Windows stack. I also suspect that the voat guys are just inexperienced, I hear that they're just two guys in college and the Github repo says that voat started as a hobby project.
- Zekio 11y agoI'm pretty sure they've added 1 or 2 more people since.
- salibhai 11y agoIf they are on the MS Stack, Azure can help with scaling.
- cmdrfred 11y agoWhy does anyone ever use this over Apache or Nginx or anything else?
- Zekio 11y agoVoat is built in asp.net MVC, so once the .net framework goes to the next version they can actually use either of those easily
