It was originally built by one guy in 4 months part time, but now (according to the article) there's a "small team."

Of course, you're also totally throwing away the "new agile" platforms, like django, scala lift, and so forth.

The "small team" is his wife and some community managers -- no other engineers or admins. He builds & runs the whole stack himself, and he has duties outside of the admin/development pieces of the business. So he's still essentially a part time developer/part time admin.
