The product the Facebook engineering team created, LAD wonder how the Dodgers feel about this , consists of a couple of parts: A proxy that sits on every single machine in the Facebook family and delivers configuration files to any machine that wants or needs one. The second piece is a distributor, which as the name implies delivers configuration information.
It achieves this by checking for new updates, and when it finds them, it creates a distribution tree for a set of machines, which are looking for an update. H M S In the news. Lara O'Reilly. As soon as you log into Facebook, you send a request to a web server that it describes as the "gateway" to your personalized Facebook experience.
The web server connects with the database server, which makes sure you're seeing the latest updates. Second from the top is one of the photo and video servers that processes some of the 2 billion photos shared every day across Facebook and other apps like Instagram and Messenger. At the bottom is the news feed server itself.
As the sign states, this server pulls in thousands of pieces of data and parses it within a few hundredths of a millisecond. The news feed server, database server, and photos and videos server all connect to one of Facebook's many server trays. Them going down got the word out. Further an issue like that should have been easily remediated.
No network traffic in any way means no network traffic from the security gate to that internal server. Meaning no one was able to enter. I love all the people who know nothing about network systems commenting ridiculously stupid theories here. I found it refreshing to see someone took them down a notch whether it was intentional or not. I spent the day in relative peace not worried about getting out in Facebook jail, or slapped for spreading actual truth and not some bs fact check gumming up the works.
It was nice. Should happen more often, so I now limit it to specific things and times… Unplug from them and they will cease to be relative. Someone else should take up the slack in less invasive and quality social media. I would like to try to answer some of the questions in the comments. While I have only worked on small networks, I have seen failures like these. They do. The problem is that an HA system only protects you against a failure of the components which provide the service.
It does not protect you against a failure of the system which decides which service components should be in service. Aurelio asks why it took them five hours to switch to a known good configuration. The reason is that they are operating all this equipment remotely over the network connection which they just shut down. It is like locking your keys in your car. Now you need someone to go to the data center, find a particular piece of equipment, and enter a specific command to start things back up.
Plus now you are blind, so you may not even know what happened or what command needs to be entered where. With DNS shutting down e-mail and the phones will stop working in a few minutes. So now not only are your keys locked in your car, your phone is too. Hopefully there is a security guard there with keys. Facebook was developed from the ground up using open source software.
Facebook has built a framework that uses RPC remote procedure calls to tie together infrastructure services written in any language, running on any platform. You are commenting using your WordPress.
