How did you determine that Facebook leads this space? I recently read an article about how Facebook distributes RPMs internally and it struck me as the kind of thing an insane person might have invented fifteen years ago. I mean, NFS in front of glusterfs? Also, RPMs???? Talk about bananas.

- ajsharp 8y agoI mean, yea, I don't work there, so I'm intuiting based on: my own professional experience ! deductive reasoning !! general...intuition !!!

- gmmeyer 8y agoWhat's wrong with RPMs?
- lykr0n 8y agoIt has a bunch of well built and supported tooling, including dependency management, dependencies, and versioning /s Nothing. I quite like using them to deploy applications. If you package them right and build your deployment system correctly, they're not the worst way to do things.
