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.

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.

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.
