Upgrading to 48GB RAM required upgrading MS Enterprise edition.

Performance went from 2x slower to 2x faster.

Make larger one time up front investments to avoid recurring monthly costs which are more expensive in the long term.

The two biggest problems with renting costs were: 1) the insane cost of memory and disk upgrades 2) the fact that they really couldn’t manage anything.

If you’re comfortable managing servers then buy them.

This is a mix of lessons taken from Jeff and Joel and comments from their posts. is considered an attractive alternative.

SQL Server's full text search is used extensively for the site search and detecting if a question has already been asked.

Impressed with their detailed technical responses and reasonable hosting rates.

Decided not to use a cloud solution because the bandwidth costs of transferring 5 GB of data per day becomes prohibitive. All together the servers also run Stack Overflow, Server Fault, and Super User. 500 GB datacenter hard drives, mirrored

Monitization strategy: unobtrusive adds, job placement ads, DevDays conferences, extend the software to target other related niches (Server Fault, Super User), develop StackExchange as a white label and self hosted version of Stack Overflow, and perhaps develop some sort of programmer rating system.My impression is they pay about $11K for OS and SQL licensing. Cheaper licensing was attained through Microsoft's BizSpark program.9 million active programmers in the world and 30% have used Stack Overflow.3 million unique visitors a month (Facebook reaches 77 million unique visitors a month).Let's see how they did it and you be the judge. He wonders if these other sites have good programmers. Joel boasts that for 1/10 the hardware they have performance comparable to similarly size sites. Maybe someday we'll have the best of both worlds, but for now there's a big painful choice to be made and that choice decides your fate. In this era of multi-core, large RAM machines and advances in parallel programming techniques, scale up is still a viable strategy and shouldn't be tossed aside just because it's not cool anymore. When thinking about your design options keep Stack Overflow in mind. But Stack Overflow is not Google and neither are most sites. If you need to Google scale then you really have no choice but to go the NoSQL direction. The publicity these days is all going scale out using NoSQL databases. What is key about the Stack Overflow story for me is the strong case they make for scale up as a viable solution for a certain potentially large class of problems.

It's the conscious awareness of the mechanisms that creates such a satisfying synergy. Use design to engineer in the behaviours you want to encourage and minimize the responses you want to discourage. I also appreciate their no-apologies anthropologically based design philosophy. I fell in deep like with Stack Overflow for purely selfish reasons, it helped me solve a few difficult problems that were jabbing my eyes out with pain. Joel estimates 1/3 of all the programmers in the world have used the site so they must be serving up something good. In that sense Stack Overflow is like a celebrity owned restaurant, only it should be around for a while. The site was created by top programmer and blog stars Jeff Atwood and Joel Spolsky. Stack Overflow is a much loved programmer question and answer site written by two guys nobody has ever heard of before.
