Reading the article makes it sound like apps that upload to object store backend and that they installed some pub sub system to push notifications. Takes 4 years? Seems like spin.

I interviewed there and glassdoor review is accurate for backend. No SRE and my SWE interviewers had obviously never built production scale services. Some managers had run backups. They made a big deal of custom this and custom that but you sign an nda on details. Hints are in public like engs who work there submitting patches from personal gmail for ceph though. My impression was many engs leaving and those staying taking over but not understanding the why as well as how.
