Two
This was good.pile:
We had two major upgrades to Vimeo today.
We completed a marathon data migration that moved all of Vimeo’s backend infrastructure from one data center to another. We’re talking hundreds of millions of rows data that had to be locked, dropped, shipped and restored across the country with complete consistency and zero downtime. Peter busted his ass for weeks setting it up and it went down like clockwork. That was a serious piece of hardcore engineering. We’ve moved from a ragtag group of a few machines to a totally virtualized environment where everything is centrally packaged, pushed, managed and monitored. It opens the door for us to quickly and easily scale up to the next 5 million users and really accelerate performance. If you haven’t already noticed, the embedded Vimeo player loads instantaneously now.
The second upgrade can be found at the bottom of any Vimeo page: we’ve split off from CV and are now our own LLC.
