This blog post introduces Facebook's Open Compute Time Appliance, based on the PCIe Time Card.

This blog post gives insights into how Facebook migrated from MySQL 5.6 to 8.0.

The paper describes Facebook's distributed file system called Tectonic. It can address and store exabytes with optimized resource utilization and less operational complexity.

This article gives insight into the workflows and tools Facebook is using to detect and address PCIe faults.

This blog post gives an overview of how Facebook handles hardware failures while keeping service interruptions as low as possible.

Benchmark for storage workloads to predict how a storage device will perform in real production environments.

We have grown from a handful of regions to 15 locations around the world. Even as the demands increase, we are bound by hard physical constraints of power and optics supply availability. Because of these dual pressures of increasing demand and physical constraints, we decided to rethink and transform our data center network from top to bottom, from topologies to the fundamental building blocks used within them. In this post, we’ll share the story of this transformation over the last two years.

Exciting times are ahead for us. We expect that our Zion, Kings Canyon, and Mount Shasta designs will address our growing workloads in AI training, AI inference, and video transcoding respectively.

Because of an ever-increasing demand for capacity, submarine cable system design is evolving and the wet plant equipment design and technology are facing new challenges.

Facebook Graph Search is a powerful search engine that lets everyone play around with Facebooks "big data". It only shows you what is already accessible to you (at least that's what Facebook claims), but in a structured and simple way that has been met by a lot of concerns about privacy. Especially since it can reveal things you might not think you had access to.
