This has been one of the biggest and coolest projects I have ever worked on. I am very happy with what we all accomplished and I am sure that the Vimeo community will agree.

The stats system is a monster from front to back, it records something like ~200M data points a day (and designed to scale much much larger) and spits it out in what I think is the prettiest and most intuitive analytics interface out there. Massive congrats to everyone involved but a special shout out to Kevin and Cory, who have been refining this for literally a year.</p> </blockquote> <p>Looks really awesome guys.
