Not sure about Instagram, but I can tell you with complete confidence that Facebook proper (meaning specifically Facebook, not the rest of Meta) moved away from Cassandra well over a decade ago. They originally used Cassandra for FB messages / Messenger, but soon migrated to HBase and then over to MySQL / MyRocks.
- mathnode 2y agoThat is not at all surprising. We all know they have the resources to find a solution to their massive data problems.
- samlambert 2y agoyep and the solution is sharded MySQL
