How Sequoia Capital manages 15,000+ pages across a global team with Netlify

Seth Bindernagel, Head of Digital at Sequoia Capital, migrated the firm's massive 15,000-page site to the JAMstack and deployed it on Netlify's global CDN. The platform empowered non-technical content creators across multiple geographies to publish updates independently, eliminating developer bottlenecks while dramatically improving performance and security.

No surprise, Sequoia Capital is the most prominent VC of Silicon Valley. They’ve quite literally invested in most of the prominent tech company in the last 30 years. Google, Apple, Oracle, AirBnB, Cisco, PayPal, Dropbox, WhatsApp, Youtube, LinkedIn, Docker, Stripe, Square, Atari deep breath - and more.

What may surprise some of you is that the sheer volume and performance requirements of their .com. Where you might expect a simple site with a handful of pages, the huge portfolio, job postings and language variations has resulted in a site with more than 15,000 html pages, and tons of contributors

What is it?

Our project is managed by a globally distributed set of content creators in separate geos. All managers need to build their local site without having a central bottleneck and Netlify allows us to distribute the deploy process to them. Given the JAMstack that Netlify is a part of, we can push our super fast and secure site updates to our CDN whenever we need to update our content.

Why Netlify?

Netlify gives us the chance to update content on our site with one click. We no longer need a developer to run updates from the command line, so our global team is fully empowered to update local site content when they need to do so.

Favorite Feature?

The “Trigger new build” button!

Netlify helped us take a retro workflow and transform it into a dynamic process that is fully distributed to our non-technical content creators.
