Does Facebook use Apache Thrift internally? That’s the only thing I can think of

[bitbckt]

Facebook was where Thrift originated.

Yeah, Thrift as RPC framework. Most DB junk happens in the big pile of Hack+PHP that is the Facebook app, or at least it did in 2020, but apparently someone wrote a Thrift endpoint to munge the database from remote services too.

Lots of internal tools used it when I was there, but that was years ago. https://github.com/facebook/fbthrift

Facebook invented thrift and gifted it to Apache
