At the 2009 Ruby en Rails conf me and Sjoerd Tieleman gave a presentation about all the lessons learned while building Omroep.nl. That’s the biggest portal for everything related to public tv and radio in the Netherlands.
With 2 programmers in a team of 6, we delivered the site in 6 months. It’s pulling 50.000 pageviews a day without any problems at all.

Our multi-threaded Cucumber scenario runner called Salad can be found at http://github.com/tieleman/salad
If the lovely folks at Holder update their site, I’ll post the videos of our talk too.
