The force

The closest I ever get to using the force on a daily basis is the ability to push videos to the front of the cue when i have a strong urge to see them right now.

“Great site though. You guys made internet video your bitch.” nicholas hansen - Vimeo member

One million videos in one day

pile:

Vimeo just broke a major personal record - 1,007,116 videos played in 24 hours.

At it’s peak that’s 17 people hitting play every second. This time last year, we peaked at 190k plays in one day. In January this year, we were at just 220k. After a long hibernation, Vimeo has quadrupled in size in pretty much every dimension in less than six months.

Oh, we also set personal bests for videos uploaded, HD videos uploaded, videos encoded, sign ups, logged in users, comments, and likes. On any given day we usually break one of these, to smash them all at once is awesome.

Here’s a visualization of the past year’s codebase to illustrate the work that went into getting us here. Every dot is a step in the process.

Goddamn I love this job.

Get on the love train.
