I think a fair summary is "We had a few problems with PostgreSQL mostly due to our rapid growth. We rethought the problem and changed the way we use a relational database for large-scale storage and are now using MySQL as a dumb key-value store."

The conclusion reinforces this: "Postgres served us well in the early days of Uber, but we ran into significant problems scaling Postgres with our growth."

I read this a both endorsement of PostgreSQL as well as highlighting some of the problems that any large-scale use of it would run into.

Agreed. I think this title is a bit flippant and I'm sure the 600M+ WhatsApp users don't care what the servers are running.

The important takeway is that FreeBSD and Erlang have worked really well for WhatsApp allowing them to grow their userbase insanely fast while still staying relatively small.

This should no longer be true. Chrome v31 (http://googlechromereleases.blogspot.com/2013/11/stable-chan...) added SCTP support for reliable DataChannels and allowing compatibility with Firefox.

Bottle uses `wsgiref` (https://github.com/defnull/bottle/blob/master/bottle.py#L263...) by default as its server. Per the name, it is a reference implementation of a WSGI server. No one should really use `wsgiref` for an application they care about. This test is invalid for this and lots of other reasons.

I suspected many in the community here would host their own XMPP server.

What XMPP server are you using or would you use?

The SQLite site continues to offer a wealth of information about SQLite internals. Most of the pages (ex. http://www.sqlite.org/fileio.html) are a good read for anyone interested databases or creating good system software.
