Description:

Join us for an exclusive presentation by Girish Patangay from Velocity 2013 conference.

Facebook's large user base has no idea the website is changing under their feet. This talk by Girish Patangay will focus on Facebook's operational and release processes that are very unique to such a large website. Girish will be walking through a typical change from inception to the final deployment into production. Facebook uses a combination of tools and culture to help scale this process to over a thousand engineers and tens of thousands of servers with a very small team of release engineers.

Girish Patangay will be taking your questions live in the group chat at 1:00PM PT / 4:00 PM ET so bring your questions.
