Technical Infrastructure

This document provides a detailed overview of the technical infrastructure that supports the web presence of Princeton University, highlighting its history, growth, and future aspirations. Starting from its inception in 1993 with limited resources, the infrastructure has evolved through various stages, including the introduction of user support and CGI services. It discusses server choices, project management strategies, and the ongoing challenges in maintaining and coordinating web resources. Future goals include developing an architected service that ensures reliability and adaptability in hosting.
