Why Drupal was chosen: 

Because Drupal is a rock-solid CMS, with an exceptional community and great ability to accommodate current and future use cases.

Describe the project (goals, requirements and outcome): 

Main Goal: Boosting Drupal speed

The Project started in January 2011, with Drupal version 7 . After some modules we saw it was too slow, also we noticed the lack of stable modules.
Not being able to get over this Pitfalls we went to Drupal6.

2011

- For frontend we choosed Genesis Theme. It is lightweight and Standards compilant
- First design was finished.
- Also, first layout was finished
- Site had many speed issues

2012

- New people in team
- Pressflow core replaced Drupal core
- The design was polished, new logos, new colours, etc
- New speed-up features where installed: Boost, CDNs where included: AWS & CloudFlare, ADVCSS/JS agregation (surprisingly this wasn't enough )
- At the end of the year, a new approach was used to speed-up page. We removed most of the CCK modules and de-normalized the remaining CCK tables to 1 new table

* In the Front-end, we included:
- Custom made Backbone.JS consuming a JSON webservice, and,
- Several Google Version 3 API modules

2013

- Server has been moved to a SMP GNU/Linux dedicated server in North Europe (Custom installed 'crafted' Debian)
- Memcache module in Drupal, and a memcached daemon in OS
- Varnish as Reverse proxy
- APC opcode cache
