Facebook Scalability Story

Here's a synopsis of a presentation given as part of the CNS lecture series, discussing Facebook's architecture.

Even though it is just an overview, it is pretty detailed, and gives interesting little factoids such as:
  • 600k photos/sec
  • php for the front end
  • 30K servers, in two datacenters
  • ”Work fast and don’t be afraid to break things.”
There's lots of neat stuff in there.
