#tbt to the Data@Scale talk on @Facebook’s McRouter. Want an update on this area? Come hear Rajesh Nishtala from Facebook and Ricky Ramirez from @Reddit talk about “Building Scalable Caching Systems via McRouter” at this month’s @AtScale 2014. Read the full abstract below and check out the agenda at atscaleconference. “Building Scalable Caching Systems via McRouter” Modern large scale web infrastructures rely heavily on distributed caching (e.g memcached) to process user requests. These caches serve as a temporary holding spot for the most commonly accessed data. However, this makes these services very sensitive to cache performance and reliability. McRouter is the lynchpin of Facebook’s caching infrastructure. It handles the basics of routing requests to the appropriate hosts and managing the responses in a highly performant way. In addition, there are a lot of features in McRouter that have been designed to dramatically improve the reliability of the caching infrastructure. The problems that McRouter addresses are not specific to Facebook, but distributed caching systems in general. As a result Instagram and Reddit have also adopted McRouter as the primary communication layer to their cache tiers. This talk gives a very brief overview of McRouter and the basics of integrating it into different pieces of infrastructure. We are excited to announce that we will be open sourcing McRouter today so that others can leverage this work. https://youtube/watch?v=e9lTgFO-ZXw&index=8&list=PLb0IAmt7-GS0HarXUJP6v4I5IPaCRkX3c
