So it's actually each of the server that sees this traffic :) And yes, we're nothing (yet!) compared to what the big guys just. However, most of the tim they used their very own software to achieve that; I'm just using out-of-the-box redis, which makes this available to _anyone_.

available to _anyone_ I get a real kid-in-a-candy-store feel from OSS these days, because it really, really is bringing down barriers for making wonderful things. Facebook solves some of the hardest engineering challenges the software industry has ever known. I sell bingo cards to sixty year-old women. We both use the exact same Memcached. How cool is that? (OK, so they might have about four terabytes more RAM attached to it than I do, give or take, but that's just an implementation detail. :) )
