My Opera started around 2002 as a hacked version of phpBB. By 2007, it was slowly heading for disaster, with severely overloaded databases and backends. Our (back then) million of users were just as frustrated as us.

Today, we have 5M+ users and growing, a lot more features, APIs, browser integration services, and the site is stable and fast. This talk tells the story of these last 3 years. Our successes, our failures, and what remains to be done.
