Very pretty.
I remain less than convinced that Mac Pros were the most cost effective way to do this though.

Based on our datacenter space, architecture, processes, and leveraging existing graphics libraries at our scale it actually is quite cost effective. You can see our data center manager defend all design decisions against a hoard of upset apple hating hacker news readers here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9500301 look for the handle "skuhn".

Oh, awesome. Thank you for responding.

Seeing all the Hacker News users freaking out is almost as entertaining as the post itself, haha.

I'm glad you guys replied to the HN readers. It's actually really interesting to see why Mac Pros were the best solution to the job.

Whoa. Not sure if I've had my head in the sand but I didn't even know this was a business large enough to support that kind of engineering resources. Great job and thanks for sharing.
You guys get to build a service which is both useful AND you and you get to build your own hardware??? Sounds like fun!

Imgix, soothing my OCD tendencies yet again. Those shots of the racked Mac Minis and immaculate cabling make me very happy.
