Trying to grow a site to Reddits size on IIS? That won't end well.

I think stackexchange are still running on IIS so it's probably close to doable - although I imagine they have some seriously smart people and resources way beyond what Voat will in the near future.

That said, does Azure play nicely with IIS? I bet it's expensive but can you scale that way maybe?

It's possible to scale, but you have to think about scaling ahead of time. Voat actually didn't and are now scrambling.

While totally forgetting sites like StackOverflow use IIS.
