Featuring: Alon Shalita, Software Engineer at Facebook; and Igor Kabiljo Software Engineer at Facebook

Description: Large graph datasets, like online social networks or the world wide web, introduce new challenges to the field of systems design. Their size requires scaling resources horizontally by splitting data and queries across several computation units, but standard sharding and routing schemes that ignore the inherent graph structure of the datasets result in suboptimal performance...
