Two weeks ago, at the AWS re:Invent conference, we presented a deep-dive into one of the systems that allows us to perform operations for every Dropbox file update in near-realtime. Orchestrating the hundreds of backend services that comprise Dropbox is an ongoing challenge for our infrastructure team, along with keeping up with growth and reliability. Managing the metadata for the one billion files saved every day means that these servers have to be extremely fast and reliable. We also have large physical datacenters split between two geographical regions, running tens of thousands of servers responsible for storing and serving the metadata for every file in Dropbox. Pushing hundreds of gigabits per second through EC2/S3 is an everyday occurrence for us, and conducting massively parallel operations across our over one trillion objects in S3 happens on an ongoing basis.
Dropbox is an active customer of Amazon Web Services, currently operating one of the largest global deployments into S3, tens of thousands of EC2 instances, and heavily utilizing other services like SQS and Route 53.
