Re:How Stack Overflow upgraded from Windows Server 2012 on Tuesday July 23, 2019 @08:55AM (#20506314)
They are in the process of migrating to .NET core, which runs on Linux.

Wether they choose to move to linux is a different matter.

Web Server: IIS, Database: SQL Server, Web framework (backend): ASP.NET/MVC. Additionally: Redis, Elasticsearch, HAProxy (all on Linux). jQuery on the front end (with some TypeScript) and LESS -> CSS.

What you are missing is that there is a cost associated with monetizing the full inventory with automation.

You lose control over what is being shown, you are diluting your brand and you are at risk of alienating your users.

At Stack Overflow we are not willing to make this trade off.
