CLOVIS · Answer

Regarding the Arcachon production it s been in production for almost 2 years now So far it has not had a single crash It s deployed both as a Docker container using Docker Compose and as a Helm chart for K8s It s currently ongoing a full rewrite React Compose for Web but we re really happy with how Ktor performs and how stable it is The major issue we had with Ktor at the start of the project was the lack of documentation for Kotlin JS but they have improved a lot since then especially with the new plugin API in Ktor 2 0

Oh there seems to be a missunderstanding When I said I did not expect the backend of Wikipedia to run on ktor I meant it as a joke I wanted to express that I don t expect to find any major world wide webpage to run on ktor I have no idea what Wikipedia is built upon

CLOVIS · Answer

As far as I know Wikipedia is still PHP

Using major companies are using it as a criteria is not great though especially for stuff that is not UI Companies don t tend to advertise which webserver they use so you really have no way to know
