SVN Commit Hooks For a Better Codebase
By  Jonathan K.
, 
December 12, 2011
As we have mentioned before, the main source control system we use at Wayfair is SVN, with TortoiseSVN as our client. One of the things we love about SVN is the ability to add commit hooks, or checks that run when someone tries to commit a file to source control. By having a few key checks we can prevent bugs, ensure consistent coding practices, and generally have a cleaner codebase.

FreeBSD has spent the last few years implementing awesome Solaris-based features such as DTrace and ZFS. Here at Wayfair, we use FreeBSD on our servers and our development environments. As a security engineer for Wayfair, I'm tasked with many fun projects. I get to test out different configurations and applications in FreeBSD. Naturally, I set up a FreeBSD 8-STABLE VM to do my testing.

Switching from Classic ASP to PHP
By  Jonathan K.
, 
October 11, 2011
One of the big changes at Wayfair recently was moving all of our storefront code (well, almost all...we're still working on our sessioned code) from Classic ASP (VBScript) to PHP. The company was started in 2002 and at that time ASP was a common technology on the web, and one that our founders were familiar with. After 8 years of working with it, we had pushed it to the limits and decided we'd get more benefit out of moving to a new technology.

By  Mike O'Hara

October 11, 2011
We certainly take technology seriously around here and work quite hard at trying to get it right, so it definitely means a lot when we’re publically recognized for these efforts. I was therefore quite proud last Thursday night when Wayfair was honored by the Massachusetts Technology Leadership Council (MassTLC) by being named “2011 Company of the Year” among privately held companies.

Continuous Improvement

September 19, 2011
The Wayfair Engineering team isn't really on the continuous integration bandwagon, but our deployment model comes pretty close naturally because of our desire for continuous improvement.
