Thank you for creating this site! I am a Computer (Software) Engineering student and love to develop web applications in my free time. I am always looking to further my skillset and it seems this will prove really useful in understanding the choice of infrastructure/tools/languages by large companies.

Can anyone recommend any resources to better understand the interaction between the aforementioned choices (e.g. why would one company prefer a certain combination of language and infrastructure over a different combination)?



If you go to an individual company's page, you'll see references which may include a post/article about why they chose x over y. Tumblr's tech stack page (http://stackshare.io/tumblr/tumblr) has an article about why they chose Scala over other options and it's pretty neat.
