A Microsoft Corporation Case Study

Preview of the Stack Overflow Case Study

Stack Overflow - Customer Case Study

Stack Overflow, the programmer Q&A community, needed ultra-fast page loads and always-on availability to serve users around the world. To meet that challenge, it relied on Microsoft Corporation technology, including SQL Server 2014, as part of its Microsoft-based infrastructure.

Microsoft Corporation implemented SQL Server 2014 with AlwaysOn Availability Groups to improve failover and keep replicas online during connection issues. The result was under-30-millisecond page rendering, stronger high availability, and the ability to scale with very lean infrastructure, saving months of development time and supporting growth with just a small team.
