Facebook codes 'updates' twice a day

Due to one  billions of Facebook users,  Facebook uploads atleast two new codes as possible everyday to secure all its users.


Engineering Manager Chuck Rossi of Facebook said at the opening of an engineering office in London allowede Facebook to double its release speed.


"We will roll facebook.com onto new code twice a day now, with a push driven by a recently-hired release engineer in our New York office in addition to our standing daily push managed by our California release engineering team. The New York-based push will give much more power to our engineers who aren’t based on the west coast of the US and will ensure they're able to move and ship as quickly as any other engineer in the company," he said in a blog post.


As Rossi noted that when he started at Facebook back in 2008, he was the only release engineer, supporting around 100 developers in one location. And now that Facebook extends its office worldwide, it can support more developers who are producing six times the amount of code per week.


He added more that, "I'm really looking forward to this change as it takes our already incredibly aggressive release process and doubles down on it, offering us twice the opportunity to ship great things. It's exciting and I think it crushes what anyone else of our size and impact is doing. Ship early and ship twice as often,".


On the other hand CNET said the development comes as the ranks of Facebook users move toward one billion monthly active users and beyond..
