   Hi,

   Thanks for writing this. A few corrections:

   1. We have 37 database servers. The number posted is the number of instances.

   2. In the following sentence, Facebook should be replaced with Fotolog, as it was me who made the point

   “Of course Facebook then pointed out that when they (Facebook) want to expand in a datacenter — the datacenter has to get Google’s approval…hmmm..no wonder Google isn’t worried about it.”

   3. Our second DBA has yet to start

   Thanks

   Ughhh, typo in my last comment:

   We have 37 database servers. The number posted is the number of databases.

    So Facebook is built on Rails? I can’t even fathom what their burn rate must be what with the employees, the perks, and the unholy number of web servers.

    Who mentioned rails and where? Facebook is built on php.

16. Cyndy Aleo-Carreira April 19th, 2008 12:23 pm

    Artem, I was joking at the Rails theory of throwing more servers at a problem. Facebook has an insane number of servers and MySQL instances based on their approximate pageviews.
