How Instagram Scales to 2.5B Users: Architecture, Consistency & Performance

Instagram grew from a simple photo‑sharing app to over 2.5 billion users, prompting engineers to adopt horizontal scaling, replace Python code with Cython, use region‑specific Cassandra clusters, employ the Akkio data‑placement service, and optimize PostgreSQL and Memcache handling to improve resource utilization, data consistency, and latency.

Investigating Intermittent Memcache set/add Failures in PHP Memcache Extension 2.2.7

The intermittent set/add failures observed with PHP’s Memcache extension 2.2.7 are caused by its built‑in 15‑second retry interval (MMC_DEFAULT_RETRY = 15) that marks the connection permanently failed after a poll timeout, and can be resolved by specifying the hidden fourth ‘timeoutms’ parameter, adjusting php.ini, or migrating to the newer Memcached extension.
