A Look at Facebook's Use of Systemd (phoronix.com)
At an event this month (you can find the video of it here), Davide Cavalca, a production engineer at Facebook, spoke about the growing adoption of systemd at the data centers of the company. From a report: Facebook continues making use of systemd's many features inside their data centers. Some of their highlights for systemd use in 2018 includes: Facebook's servers have been relying on systemd for about the past two years. Facebook is using CentOS 7 everywhere from hosts to containers. While relying on CentOS 7, Facebook backports a lot of packages including new systemd releases, Meson, other dependencies, and of course new Linux kernel releases. Facebook is working on "pystemd" as a Python (Cython) wrapper on top of SD-BUS.

They just had a major security leak of 50 million users? Competent you say?
If anyone can ever figure out how to read the logs, someone may respond.
Combining Python and systemd is like mixing vomit with diarrhea.
Yeah, all the highly skilled sysadmins updated their startup scripts years ago to start under systemd. It's only the lazy weak sysadmins who have spent the last four of five years whining that systemd once broke a script somewhere.
The highly skilled admins forked Debian, to create Devuan, a Debian free of systemd.
Ignoring good technology in favor of hip but bad technology is not a sign of competence.
Most ACs are not even worth the keystrokes to insult them. Be generically insulted by this and ignored otherwise.
