| Ok so this [1] is the December 2013 blog with 400 million monthly actives and 50 employees. I don't have access to anything anymore, but 30 engineers sounds about right. At that time, I think was about Two on Nokia S40, two on S60, two on Blackberry, two on WP. I think three on Android, three on iOS. One or two on voip (shhh, it won't be out until summer 2014). I probably missed one or two people that floated around different client projects. So, something like 17 on server?; we were not a 100% Erlang shop of course (our web page was just PHP, our blog was still Wordpress at that time (hiss), but I can only think of onen server person who wasn't doing much in Erlang. There were also a lot of people wearing many hats. Several client team members had significant contributions to server work and some work the other way too. Try as I might, I never did convince the S40 team to run Erjang though. [1] https://blog.whatsapp.com/400-million-stories |
