    As someone working in IT, I can with confidence say OP have no idea what the cost would result in for SE and the development team's budget.

    We will likely see more wards soon enough with the new server hardware able to be installed (which been delayed to to covid restrictions for traveling).

    This will never happen for security reasons. SE don't own their datacenters and getting permit to go in to document and film, no way that will happen.

    Would still be interesting to see if only to help put things into perspective. Besides, once you get into the area where the servers actually are, there's not much to see there other than racks of computers... it's all the stuff from the outside world getting to that point that shouldn't be recorded because of what you said.

    Besides, seeing how a datacenter actually works is kinda neat =D

    Is it? You just said it, it's a bunch of racks and noice AC units to cool off the server racks.

    colocation makes this complex at best. check out Custodian Data Centers on youtube, pretty good idea of datacenters in general, though designs of the DC's obviously vary.
