This article provides a high-level overview of Meta’s hyperscale infrastructure, focusing on key insights from its development, particularly in systems software. Where relevant, we highlight differences from public clouds, as varying constraints have led to distinct optimizations. While much of the knowledge presented here has been shared and practiced within the industry and research community, including insights from our past publications, the article’s primary contribution is to provide a holistic perspective that helps readers build a comprehensive mental model of hyperscale infrastructure end to end.
