Guest hahathhat Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 google answers it quicker than it took you dudes to write up the question: Facebook is one of the most-trafficked sites in the world and has had to build infrastructure to support this rapid growth. The company is the largest user in the world of memcached, an open source caching system, and has one of the largest MySQL database clusters anywhere. The site is largely written in PHP though the engineering team developed a way to programmatically transform PHP source code into C++ to gain performance benefits. Facebook has built a lightweight but powerful multi-language RPC framework that seamlessly and easily ties together infrastructure services written in any language, running on any platform. The company has created a custom-built search engine serving millions of queries a day, completely distributed and entirely in-memory, with real-time updates. Facebook relies heavily on open source software and releases large pieces of its own software infrastructure as open source.

Guest EDGEY Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 myspace was doomed from the start -- "tom" wrote it in fucking coldfusion, the shittiest of shit web "engines" then they moved to asp.net, which i also hate with a passion, and it was worse. Thats quite interessting. What is facebook written in? PHP, MySQL, C++, and I think some jQuery (or some variant of jQuery). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Blanket Fort Collapse Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Myspace used to be alright for quite few reasons but it's soo fucking horribly clunky/slow/shitty as fuck/unusable now (even though I don't care to use it because there are only like 9.4 people that use it regularly still) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
