Session: The Principles Behind Groupon

Groupon rests upon a foundation built with the moderate application of
many varying processes, philosophies, and buzzword-compliant
technologies. This presentation will address the different ideas that
drive Groupon engineering. Monolithic application design, conservative
adoption of SOA, Domain Driven Everything, Agile-ish processes, advanced
Ruby metaprogramming and anything else that contributed to the fastest
growing company in history, will be covered. Mike Cerna is lead
developer at Groupon, having started on the project in April 2007 during
its formative years as ThePoint.com.
