چند نکته در مورد زیرساخت و پلتفرم فیسبوک
According to Facebook, it is the second most-trafficked PHP-based website in the world, one of the largest users of the MySQL database, and the largest user of memcached, which is a high-performance caching system.
Facebook uses multicore Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise Linux servers. Facebook last reported that it has 10,000 web servers, 1,800 MySQL servers, and 805 memcached servers.
Currently, it does not use a storage area network (SAN); instead, it relies on a large number of hard drives in RAID 10 configuration.
The servers supply over 28 terabytes (TB) of memory and process 200,000 User Datagram Protocol (UDP) requests per second.This is based on Facebook’s customization of its server software, improving significantly on the 50,000 requests per second offered by the stock versions.
Facebook uses a customized Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP (LAMP) stack.
