MetaRoCE for AI Infrastructure on Ethernet
MetaRoCE for Ethernet-based AI infrastructure: how Meta moves intelligence into the NIC, eliminates PFC, and creates a loss-resilient transport for million-GPU scale.
Architecture and Infra
Architecture and Infra on ThecoreGrid covers the foundations of designing and operating scalable, reliable systems at BigTech level. This category brings together system design and infrastructure practices: distributed architectures, highload patterns, cloud-native platforms, and core layers such as compute, networking, and storage. We focus on real engineering decisions — how to balance reliability, performance, cost, and long-term system evolution. Topics include Infrastructure as Code, Kubernetes, multi-region deployments, traffic management, and platform design. Content is grounded in production experience: incident post-mortems, large-scale migrations, and lessons from operating infrastructure under heavy load. Instead of abstract theory, you get practical trade-offs, proven patterns, and insights drawn from real-world systems. Architecture & Infra is built for architects, backend and platform engineers, DevOps teams, and SREs responsible for complex distributed systems and mission-critical infrastructure.
