If you think StackOverflow is the epitome of scale, then your view of the world is somewhat limited. I worked for a flash sale site in 2008 that had to handle 3 million users, all trying to connect to your site simultaneously to buy a minimal supply of inventory. After 15 minutes of peak scale, traffic will scale back down by 80-90%. I am pretty sure StackOverflow never had to deal with such a problem.

I am a bit at a loss about that statement, you can run Elasticsearch on your on infrastructure

Re:My time with Rails is up on Sunday May 22, 2016 @07:18PM (#11750713)
Without being negative anyone else found this statement a bit strange - "as my bachelor thesis was about Rails"

* I am not aware of any CS program that do thesis at a bachelor level.

* It is hard for me to imagine getting approval for doing a thesis on "Rails", it is mostly a CRUD web framework.
