Andres Suarez and Michael Bolin, two software engineers at Meta, join Pascal Hartig (@passy) on the Meta Tech Podcast to discuss the ins and outs of DotSlash, a new open source tool from Meta. DotSlash takes the pain out of distributing binaries and toolchains to developers. Instead of committing large, platform-specific executables to a repository, [...] Read More...

We’ve partnered with Voltron Data and the Arrow community to align and converge Apache Arrow with Velox, Meta’s open source execution engine. Apache Arrow 15 includes three new format layouts developed through this partnership: StringView, ListView, and Run-End-Encoding (REE). This new convergence helps Meta and the larger community build data management systems that are unified, [...] Read More...

By now you’re already aware that Python 3.12 has been released. But did you know that several of its new features were developed by Meta? Meta engineer Pascal Hartig (@passy) is joined on the Meta Tech Podcast by Itamar Oren and Carl Meyer, two software engineers at Meta, to discuss their teams’ contributions to the [...] Read More...

While deploying Precision Time Protocol (PTP) at Meta, we’ve developed a simplified version of the protocol (Simple Precision Time Protocol – SPTP), that can offer the same level of clock synchronization as unicast PTPv2 more reliably and with fewer resources. In our own tests, SPTP boasts comparable performance to PTP, but with significant improvements in [...] Read More...

We’ve open sourced DotSlash, a tool that makes large executables available in source control with a negligible impact on repository size, thus avoiding I/O-heavy clone operations. With DotSlash, a set of platform-specific executables is replaced with a single script containing descriptors for the supported platforms. DotSlash handles transparently fetching, decompressing, and verifying the appropriate remote [...] Read More...
