"Casey is the sole engineer for Ravelry and to run it takes only a few people."

Looking over the setup, that's quite a lot for one person to do during nights and weekends in 4 months. Pretty cool.

I suspect that was prior to the initial launch. The architecture has presumably evolved to the state described in the HS article since then.

Edit: yes, Casey says in the Tim Bray interview that "As soon as we could, we got alpha testers in to try it out... 4 months later, we had a site that we were ready to announce."
