Booking.com, a Perl success story

Booking.com is using the LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, Perl) stack. We use a wide range of features within these technologies, and build our own where needed, often submitting patches back to the open source community which supports us.

When Scrum isn't agile enough

In early 2009, Booking.com started using the agile programming technique, Scrum, for doing development. Right from the beginning, Booking.com needed to steer away from the formal Scrum way in order to cope with its unique demands. Over a period of a year, Booking.com has evolved the technique it uses, resulting in a methodology called "Beyond Scrum".
