Presentation: "Scaling the Social Graph: Infrastructure at Facebook"
Time: Thursday 16:50 - 17:50
Location: Fleming Room, Third Floor
Abstract:
Today Facebook is one of the largest web properties in the world, reaching over 500 million people per month. Facebook's users demand high uptime and speedy responses which imposes massive infrastructural challenges. This talk will walk you through the evolution of our systems, from the early days of Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP to our more recent contributions like HipHop for PHP. It will also touch on our thinking around the future of social infrastructure.
