Delivering an intuitive, yet rich set of analytic tools, driven by volumes of performance data, via the web has forced us to overcome numerous engineering challenges. Certainly a large number of these are themed around integrating the many technologies we use (Java, ColdFusion, SQL Server, .Net, AJAX, CSS, XHTML, etc.), though not all are technical in nature. As we have grown, we have also learned much about QA, testing, and product management processes. We hope this blog will reflect on much of what we have learned and serve as a way to give back to the broad software community that has already helped us in many ways. Enjoy!
