Shard Manager (Meta)¶
Shard Manager is Meta/Facebook's generic shard-management framework for geo-distributed applications, published at SOSP 2021 (Lee, Guo, Sunercan, Ying, Tang, et al.). Title: Shard Manager: A Generic Shard Management Framework for Geo-distributed Applications. DOI: 10.1145/3477132.3483546. Reference: https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3477132.3483546.
Third cited ancestor of systems/dicer. Shard Manager's emphasis is the geo-distributed angle — managing shards that must span regions, handling region-level failure domains, and generic enough to host many heterogeneous internal services at Meta.
