#215: The software powering Talk Python courses and podcast

Have you ever wondered about the software stack powering Talk Python, the training website, mobile apps, video and audio delivery, and more? While at first glance it might seem pretty simple, there's quite a bit going on. We have our own custom search engines. We deliver 15-20 TB of data per month. Our course video streams from 8 locations throughout the world. Our database server is sending about 12 MBit of traffic / sec with no media in the mix. And it's all powered with Python.
