What is the general tech stack at FB?

Do most products use PHP? or is it Java?

@elonotoday I hope your reaction is caused by watching the video of Tesla autopilot driving car straight into a wall on 101.

Is there Typescript? Does FB use any of the public cloud AWS, Azure GCP?

Facebook LFvu06 May 12, 2020

No. Fb has its own type checker for JS, php, python. And its own clound

Microsoft Summer2k20 May 12, 2020

Thanks!

I have 0 experience in both hack and php. I am joining as a new grad and pretty keen on backend. Should I bother learning php or just dive straight into hack?

Been at Fb and I honestly miss the tech stack. ❤️ my ex co-workers.

Does any team work with GoLang at FB?

Facebook dhduxtwhr May 13, 2020

Yes

Facebook OutP30 May 13, 2020

FB is a big enough company that there’s at least one person/team hacking away in some new obscure language or tech or stack.

So weird to have a company that have a tech stack... at amazon we use the best tool for the job

Facebook GTFO or TC May 14, 2020

That's why it's easy to switch teams at FB. The code just looks the same everywhere.

Amazon dg23 Jun 22, 2020

I mean, it's basically java backend, typescript/javascript frontend (typically paired with react), python ops tools, and ruby deployment config on every amazon team I've seen.

Facebook FcPT43 May 14, 2020

C++, php, androidJava and iOS are main. But fb uses pretty much every language out there.
