Track: Architecture, wednesday 11:20 - 12:10
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.
