Instagram has apologised for accidentally labelling terrorists as terrorists. (Ars Technica)

Meta (Facebook) has revealed the details of its internal serverless platform - similar to Amazon's Lambda - that "processes trillions of function calls per day on more than 100,000 servers spread across tens of datacenter regions." (Engineer Codex)
