While I was at FB (it wasn't Meta then), I saw what a superpower the infrastructure is there. Product engineers build things of a scale in days. While I was there, I got to be tech lead for several different teams (2x distributed dbs, 1x Dev Efficiency, 1x Ads), some of which are called out by name here.

Shout out to the HBase and ZippyDB teams! This is the first public acknowledgment that ZippyDB was converged upon.

It's also super cool to see the Developer Efficiency pushes called out. 10,000 Services pushed daily, or every commit is so impressive.

When I left FB, I couldn't find anything close. So, I'm building the infra that I was missing as a startup. Batteries Included. https://www.batteriesincl.com/ https://github.com/batteries-included/batteries-included/



Good luck to you. Maybe you’ll be the next StatSig.


Thanks! They have built an impressive business and tool.
