Under the hood
This is the story of why and how we built PGKeeper, a scalable and reliable service to support Figma’s rapidly growing products and database workload.
Scalability and reliability gaps in our Redis platform were a growing threat to Figma's site availability. This is the story of how we built FigCache, a foundational technology that underpins a reimagined internal platform for ephemeral data.
By replacing a decade-old architecture with a reactive foundation, we made common operations in large design systems up to 50% faster and unlocked a new way to build dynamic features.
