Amirali is a Senior Production Engineer at Meta. He works closely with an 11-person team to design and build Function as a Service (FaaS) products akin to AWS Event Bridge and Lambda for Meta's internal cloud. Their primary objective was to manage millions of function executions per second running across hundreds of thousands of machines worldwide. The technology stack they used was heavily reliant on big data platforms like Hive, Scribe (a Kafka-like system), and sharded MySQL clusters for storing events and various execution runtimes such as HHVM.
