How Levels.fyi Scaled to Millions of Users with Google Sheets

🌟 Join WWCode Silicon Valley for this global event with the founders of Levels.fyi 🌟

How did Levels.fyi get its start? What was the technical stack powering it? As Levels.fyi scaled, how did they keep up? What challenges did they face?

Come hear from the founders of Levels.fyi themselves on how it all went down from the beginning of the journey all the way up until now.

Get a walkthrough of Levels.fyi's technical stack (or lack of it) that powers the site, and how Google Sheets was the primary backend infrastructure. The goal of the talk is to help you think about how you can scrappily start your own projects without investing too much into a tech stack early on.
