Every network experiences outages, and Facebook is no exception. Vice President of Infrastructure Engineering Jay Parikh spoke with CNET about how the social network handles outages, and how he handles requests for more servers.
On the topic of outages, he told CNET:
First and foremost, we take this stuff extremely seriously. We want to be fast, and we always want to be up and running. That’s our No. 1, No. 2, No. 3 priority … When we do have a misstep, we spend a lot of time internally really understanding what happened, how we’re not going to let it happen to us again.
I run a meeting every week where we go through all of the issues that happened … We go over the timeline of what happened, the impact to users, what the root cause was, how we fixed it.
