Petabyte Scale Databases and Storage Systems at Facebook
Summary: Facebook's petabyte-scale data stack: sharded MySQL+Memcache for real-time access, TAO for geo consistency, Haystack for billions of photos, Hadoop/HBase for analytics. Examines workload-driven choices, ACID needs, and graph-relational mapping for geo deployments. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
