Scaling Back-End Deployment

on YouTube ↗19m

" summary

Facebook's unified CD system Conveyor runs ~100,000 deployments per week with a 99.9% success rate by combining scheduled pipelines, automated Push execution, and metric-driven health checks; adoption reached 94% regular deploys after the company-wide "push for push" campaign. Push is refactored into Rust microservices and pluggable push types, adds a translation layer for migration, and cuts bad failures from >1/20 to roughly 1/3,000 while moving 95% of traffic to Push V2.
