Stack Overflow has existed since 2008. At that time, it was a logical choice to run this from our own hardware in a datacenter. The company started with a small group of people who owned every aspect of the application, from the infrastructure to the code. We built a monolithic application that scaled incredibly well and we squeezed the most out of the hardware we had.
