Ben, this is really interesting. I was under the impression that Playtomic was a one man operation, but the idea that you're managing 300 million requests a day boggles my mind. (at my office we've got a team to handle that).

I'll have to go through your article with a fine toothed comb - but that's really quite a feat.

It is and it isn't a one man operation - I'm the only one actually programming / managing the servers / creating it all etc, but in the background is my friend Antonio who helps finance the development and has for a long time now, and very recently joined is my friend and over the years sometimes boss Brian.

It's not really fair to say 'I' anymore as we ramp things up on the business side of it and formalize everything.
