From the blog post:

"Almost all our servers are running open-source software. Our Web servers use Linux and Apache and PHP. Our database servers run MySQL. We use memcached to help keep the site snappy. Some of our behind-the-scenes software is written in Python and Perl and Java, and we use gcc and Boost for the parts that aren't. Our developers use Subversion and git to keep track of their work. The list goes on—like many Web sites, we use it from top to bottom."



that's good stuff, Thanks!


You bet.
