Scaling DB Access for Billions of Queries Per Day @PayPal
As microservices scale and proliferate, they add increasing load on databases in terms of connections and resource usage. Open sourced in the Go programming language, Hera (High Efficiency Reliable Access to data stores) scales thousands of PayPal’s applications with connection...
EBtree - Design for a Scheduler and Use (Almost) Everywhere
As the demand on Internet infrastructures grows, so do the requirements on its components, like load balancers, to process ever more data. EBtree is a different take on the ubiquitous tree data structure, and is helping HAProxy, a high performance Open-Source software load balancer, to keep up...
The State of Serverless Computing
Serverless computing has become increasingly popular since Amazon released AWS Lambda in 2014. Its appeal lies in the ability to write arbitrary code and deploy it at scale with the “click of a button”, in some sense realizing the original promise of cloud computing. While existing...
Build Cross Platform Apps With Flutter
Historically users building cross platform apps would be able to see and feel a difference between "native" apps and cross platform solutions, but what happens when the clients built by cross platform technologies start to achieve the same look and feel?Flutter built apps...
MLflow: An Open Platform to Simplify the Machine Learning Lifecycle
Developing applications that successfully leverage machine learning is difficult. Building and deploying a machine learning model is challenging to do once. Enabling other data scientists (or even yourself, one month later) to reproduce your pipeline, compare the results of different versions,...
From Research to Production With PyTorch
PyTorch is a powerful, flexible deep learning platform that enables engineers and researchers to move quickly from research to production. Since the 1.0 release a few months ago, researchers and engineers are already seeing success in taking advantage of the new capabilities to take deep learning...

What is the focus of your work today?
I am a PhD student at RISELab at UC Berkeley. My research interest is in distributed systems and database field. In the past couple of years I worked on developing a key-value store called Anna. That's a fast and auto-scaling key-value store. It provides a wide variety of consistency guarantees to the applications. Now our team are...

What is the focus of your work today?
I work on PyTorch, which is an open source deep Learning framework developed here at Facebook. I specifically work with the team on a lot of the ways in which we enable the success of a broad open source community that spans both bleeding edge researchers as well as ML product engineers putting deep learning technology to use in...
