The WhatsApp guys are very sharp ex-Yahoo guys who've had tremendous experience with scaling systems. Rick Reed is fairly legendary. Yahoo was a long time FreeBSD shop, so it's not surprising they went with that. I hope they publish how they did it - in fact let me drop them an email and see if I can convince them to do so. |

FWIW, Yahoo still uses FreeBSD extensively.
