Ask HN: Have you noticed Facebook being slow, laggy, and buggy lately?
In the past I always used Facebook as a near perfect example of how to build a system at scale with minimal service disruptions.
However within the last few months I have noticed many times Facebook loads slow, doesn't load at all, or throws errors when doing routine tasks. Not isolated on a network or machine either; I've noticed it happening everywhere.
Has anyone else noticed this? If so, do you have any thoughts/ideas on why this is happening? Is it simply due to size or are there other factors at play?

- jc_811 11y agoI'm not so sure. I usually log in a few times a day. Granted I'm not a power user as my sessions usually last a matter of minutes, but you think this would cause the overall performance issues? Is this something that affects other large companies as well?
