I don't think this actually answers why Netflix needs to many engineers. This seems like the sort of thing that one or two experienced engineers would spend a year refining, and it would turn out like this.
This is the sort of impressive work that I've never seen scale.
- drewg123 4y agoAuthor here... Yes, most of this work was done by me, with help from a handful of us on the OCA kernel team at Netflix (and external FreeBSD developers), and our vendor partners (Mellanox/NVIDIA). With that said, we are standing on the shoulders of giants. There are tons of other optimizations not mentioned in this talk where removing any one of them could tank performance. I'm giving a talk about that at EuroBSDCon next month.
