Meta needed to migrate their legacy data ingestion system to a new architecture while maintaining reliability and consistency for real-time social graph snapshots at massive scale.
Meta needed to automatically identify and remediate performance inefficiencies across their massive infrastructure to reduce power consumption and free up engineering capacity.
AI coding assistants were ineffective at making useful edits in large-scale data pipelines because they lacked sufficient understanding of complex, multi-repository codebases spanning multiple languages and thousands of files.
Safely deploying configuration changes at scale while minimizing the risk of widespread failures caused by faulty configurations.
Meta needed to automatically optimize low-level infrastructure and kernel-level parameters for AI ranking models to improve performance without manual tuning.
Meta needed to scale their ads ranking models to LLM-scale complexity and size while maintaining inference latency requirements for real-time ad serving.
Agentic (AI-driven) software development produces and ships code so fast that traditional testing frameworks cannot keep pace, leaving bugs uncaught as they land in rapidly evolving codebases.
