To handle high-scale traffic (over 500B HTTP requests per day) and 500+ daily deployments, our team of 500 Backend Engineers runs production across 19 distributed data centers and cloud vendors worldwide.
Wix’s Infrastructure Developer Experience team. We have a suite of developer productivity tools that serve our 2,000 engineers. We believe that we can better support Wix engineers by connecting our products across key engineering workflows to boost efficiency. Our main focus is currently DevPortal, the front-end product of all our CI/CD offerings. This pluggable platform will allow all of our engineering teams to build and customize whatever they need to improve their day-to-day development experience. As a group, we generate 8k builds and 600 deployments per day.
