What is YouTube?

I plan to write an internal large video sharing site.

Is there a resource or article that shows how to plan such a large development and deployment of applications?

Is there a detailed plan of what YouTube uses as its programming language, video servers, etc. ??

If I can give you one piece of advice: start small!

Large projects tend to take a long time to complete. If you start small, first you have some proof of concept. This way you can extend it in parts.

At some point, they used lighttpd to feed video files. Their HTTP headers indicate that they use Apache for a large number of pages. Their help system runs on python, but I think all of the Google help materials work on this, so no surprise. In addition to this, I think it is safe to say that there are many built-in technologies there, of course, kindly provided by Google.
