The Stack Exchange Infrastructure: How We Scale Our Windows Based Stack at the World's 50th Largest Website Network
LISA: Where systems engineering and operations professionals share real-world knowledge about designing, building, and maintaining the critical systems of our interconnected world.
The LISA conference has long served as the annual vendor-neutral meeting place for the wider system administration community. The LISA14 program recognized the overlap and differences between traditional and modern IT operations and engineering, and developed a highly-curated program around 5 key topics: Systems Engineering, Security, Culture, DevOps, and Monitoring/Metrics. The program included 22 half- and full-day training sessions; 10 workshops; and a conference program consisting of 50 invited talks, panels, refereed paper presentations, and mini-tutorials.
George Beech, Stack Exchange, Inc.
We are nuts about performance, and very proud of what we are able to do with a Microsoft based stack at scale.
This talk will go over the Architecture that is used at Stack Exchange to serve millions of users on a WISC stack. I will go over the general architecture, our tooling, and what we use to make the site run fast.
George Beech, Stack Exchange, Inc.
George is an SRE generalist at Stack Exchange. He has worked on every part of the stack from Windows, to Linux, to the network infrastructure.
His experience working in the IT field over the past thirteen years has led him to love working with multiple technologies, and allowed him to experience everything from running a small network as a consultant to being part of a large team running very large scale infrastructure.
