omg! such mind-blowing and world-changing ideas like "they didn't reinvent the wheel" and "The bottlenecks were identified and eliminated."

i feel like i am at the mlm presentation. seriously, if you want to "learn more" invest the 6 minutes of your life better.

I expect better from major publications like newsletter.systemdesign.one

Not even a .pizza domain, it's clearly second rate

I like how "Don't reinvent the wheel" is almost immediately followed by "they rewrote some of the core components to fit their needs". Isn't that basically reinventing the wheel with a few extra steps?

More a redesign the wheel.

I think it's a case of "easier said than done"

Dumb article. Will save everyone a click:

  1. lower level languages
  2. higher/wider concurrency
  3. faster auto-scaling

The same formula for every platform operating out there. What they don't talk about is efficiency, which is always the most juicy part of these kinds of writeups. You can scale anything to do 50b messages with enough money and resources, but how efficient is it?

Will the 3rd one shock me? As always?

[-] 1847953620@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

It'll shock you, on whether it shocks you or not.

WhatsApp's ability to support 50 billion messages a day with such a small team is really impressive! It's all about efficient engineering, smart data optimization, and using scalable cloud services. Their focus on simple, high-performance design and leveraging automation has been key to managing such massive traffic. By the way, if you’re into optimizing apps for better performance, I recently found that Lulubox Pro 6.17.0 APK download offers great ways to tweak and manage apps more smoothly, which can be useful for improving your mobile app experience overall. Just make sure to download it from trusted sources!

WhatsApp's ability to support 50 billion messages a day with only 32 engineers can be attributed to several factors:

Efficient Codebase: WhatsApp has a highly optimized codebase, allowing it to handle large volumes of messages with minimal resources. The engineers have likely focused on writing clean, efficient code that maximizes performance and minimizes resource usage.

Scalable Architecture: WhatsApp's architecture is designed to scale horizontally, allowing it to handle increasing loads by adding more servers or resources as needed. This scalability ensures that the platform can accommodate the growing number of messages without sacrificing performance.

Robust Infrastructure: WhatsApp likely has a robust infrastructure in place, including data centers located strategically to minimize latency and ensure high availability. This infrastructure is designed to handle massive amounts of traffic while maintaining reliability and stability.

Smart Resource Allocation: The engineering team at WhatsApp likely employs smart resource allocation techniques, such as load balancing and resource pooling, to ensure that resources are utilized efficiently and effectively. This allows them to handle large volumes of messages with a relatively small team.

Automated Systems: WhatsApp likely leverages automation wherever possible to streamline operations and reduce the need for manual intervention. Automated systems can handle routine tasks such as server provisioning, monitoring, and maintenance, freeing up engineers to focus on more critical issues.

Continuous Optimization: The engineering team at WhatsApp is likely constantly optimizing the platform to improve performance, scalability, and efficiency. This continuous optimization ensures that WhatsApp can handle increasing message volumes without experiencing degradation in service quality.

Focus on Core Features: FM WhatsApp Update may prioritize the development and maintenance of core features that directly contribute to its messaging functionality. By focusing on what matters most to users, WhatsApp can allocate its engineering resources more effectively and efficiently.

Talent and Experience: Finally, WhatsApp likely has a team of highly talented and experienced engineers who are experts in their respective fields. With the right talent and experience, WhatsApp can overcome technical challenges and achieve impressive feats like supporting 50 billion messages a day with a relatively small team.

These factors combined allow WhatsApp to support such a massive volume of messages with only 32 engineers, showcasing the company's technical prowess and dedication to providing a seamless messaging experience for its users

I have used several app for communication but I was not personally satisfied with them due to security reasons. One day my friend told me about modified version of Whatsapp. So I decieded to explore features of this amazing application. The results were amazing, there I found many unique features but the feature that surprised me was to add multiple accounts on fmwhatsapp. After that I downloaded this application and now I'm fully satisfied with this app.

I was always suspicious for security reasons in communication or any transaction until a few days ago when I found the wifi sifre kirma site and application that told me how to protect my internet and how to have fun. I followed the steps on this site to secure my internet and now I have peace of mind.

Wow, this is amazing The latest version of NA7WhatsApp has also amazing engineers who have added incredible features to make it easier and more enjoyable to use.

I had tried various communication apps but was never completely satisfied with their security features. Then, a friend mentioned a modified version of WhatsApp, so I decided to check it out. I was impressed by its unique features, especially the ability to manage multiple accounts on Gold Whatsapp. After downloading it, I found it met all my needs and I'm now completely satisfied with the app.
