Facebook also uses Postgres and one of the nosql variants (hadoop iirc). Also MySpace uses Aster Data's stuff, which is all built on top of Postgres. shrug

- easp 17y agoI hadn't heard that Facebook had any major Postgres deployment. MySQL seems to form the core data storage for the appplication. Cassandra looks like something they will be using more and more of. They use their own Hive project to allow use of SQL to analyze data in Hadoop. As for other big users of Postgres, Hi5 is a decent sized social net that uses Postgres. NTT uses postgres, and I think the coming simple replication and hot-standby features are based on code they developed for in-house use.
