Last summer we teamed up with the New York Times to analyze the re-routing of internet service to Kherson, a region in southern Ukraine that was, at the time, under Russian occupation. In my accompanying blog post , I described how that development mirrored what took place following Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014. Along with the Russian-held parts of eastern Ukraine, these regions have experienced a type of Russification , an assimilation where the Ukrainian residents of these regions hav

As DoorDash made the move from made-to-order restaurant delivery into the Convenience and Grocery (CnG) business, we had to find a way to manage an online inventory per merchant per store that went from tens of items to tens of thousands of items. Having multiple CnG merchants on the platform means constantly refreshing their offerings, a huge inventory management problem that would need to be operated at scale.

We’re sharing how we’re enabling production and delivery of AV1 for Facebook Reels and Instagram Reels. We believe AV1 is the most viable codec for Meta for the coming years. It offers higher quality at a much lower bit rate compared with previous generations of video codecs. Meta has worked closely with the open source community to optimize AV1 software encoder and decoder implementations for real-world, global-scale deployment.
