Hulu.com built by Russian team?
So if Nginx (a lighttpd-like webserver) powers Hulu.com, then that means that they probably built this by outsourcing to a Russian team? (Since the docs are in Russian and stuff…) Good work then - Hulu is getting good reviews, I wonder who built it?
http://nginx.net/
It’s in english? Are you stupid or what?

Hi Peter. I’m one of the developers working at Hulu. While I was born in Russia, I work and live in Los Angeles — and I’m the only person even remotely connected to Russia in the company :-) I don’t think anyone on the team is related to the Nginx people.

Grabb.it is powered by nginx. It’s one of the best, lightest ways to host Rails application. Here’s a write up on using them together.
