From InfoQ » Prezi's CTO on how to remain a lean startup after 4 years

• …how embracing failure is the only way to grow and improve the business;
• …the need for speed of learning at a lean startup;
• …everyone sharing end to end responsibility for product improvement results;
• Some of the technical hurdles to overcome so far include
  • monolithic MySQL implementation;
  • non-service oriented architecture; and
  • lack of transactional logging.
• The main problem however according to Peter was keeping an operations team running for 3 years until realizing DevOps is a cultural change across the board, not a single group's responsibility.
• …multiple feature teams [or persona teams - mVs], each working as an independent startup unit from idea conception to delivery in production.
• Current delivery rate is above 10 deploys a day with a log rate above 10.000 messages per second.

• We don't make mistakes, we learn: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6hz_s2XIAU#
