To clarify, it all stayed on mysql — just pulled everything into a single db.
I can't remember exactly but the whole project was done in a real hurry, about 4 weeks I think. It included a rewrite of the application / website (about 20k lines of backend code, html and js / css), migration of all the data, creation of new transcoders, migration of a lot of data asset/video data from another server.
No idea how we got through it all in retrospect, but I had to. A few days after we finished I got married and went off on my honeymoon, so I guess I decided it was stable enough the day I released it...! :-)
