>What is the technology stack behind Duolingo?
>Duolingo runs on Amazon Web Services. We use MySQL to store most of our persistent data, DynamoDB for storing user vocabularies, and a combination of Redis and memcache for caches. Most of our backend stack is written in Python, while the frontend is a combination of mustache templates, backbone.js, jQuery, and Twitter Bootstrap.
