Learn about how Facebook’s engineers have managed enormous waves of growth while evolving their edge networks to connect more than 1.6 billion people. Scaling is a challenge for any network; but Facebook’s rapid growth, both virtually online and physically in their peering networks, is something few have ever seen. In this session, you’ll learn about how Facebook’s engineers have evolved and grown their interconnections across the world, building vast volumes of peering capacity, as well as creating the automation to squeeze every last bit of efficiency and performance for the benefit of all the people who communicate through Facebook.
