Scalability at YouTube

Problems Youtube was facing
First of I will start talking about the problems they faced at YouTube was facing. YouTube has faced a lot of problems in its life time so far and the main issues they faced were with scalability.

Fast Inlfuence Based Coarening For Large Networks

characteristics for di↵usion processes on that graph. We then provide a fast and e↵ective near-linear-time (in nodes and edges) algorithm coarseNet for the same. Using extensive experiments on multiple real datasets, we demonstrate the quality and scalability of coarseNet, enabling us to reduce the graph by 90% in some cases without much loss of information. Finally we also show how our method can help in diverse applications like inﬂuence maximization and detecting patterns of propagation at the level…
