Meet Bandaid, the Dropbox service proxy
// By Dmitry Kopytkov and Patrick Lee • Mar 01, 2018 With this post we begin a series of articles about our Service Oriented Architecture components at Dropbox, and the approaches we took in designing them. Bandaid, our service proxy, is one of these components. Follow along as we discuss Bandaid’s internal design and the approaches we chose for the implementation. Bandaid started as a reverse pro
How we migrated Dropbox from Nginx to Envoy
In this blogpost we’ll talk about the old Nginx-based traffic infrastructure, its pain points, and the benefits we gained by migrating to Envoy. We’ll compare Nginx to Envoy across many software engineering and operational dimensions. We’ll also briefly touch on the migration process, its current state, and some of the problems encountered on the way. When we moved most of Dropbox traffic to Envoy
Rewriting the heart of our sync engine
Over the past four years, we've been working hard on rebuilding our desktop client's sync engine from scratch. The sync engine is the magic behind the Dropbox folder on your desktop computer, and it's one of the oldest and most important pieces of code at Dropbox. We're proud to announce today that we've shipped this new sync engine (codenamed "Nucleus") to all Dropbox users. Rewriting the sync en
The (not so) hidden cost of sharing code between iOS and Android
The (not so) hidden cost of sharing code between iOS and Android Until very recently, Dropbox had a technical strategy on mobile of sharing code between iOS and Android via C++. The idea behind this strategy was simple—write the code once in C++ instead of twice in Java and Objective C. We adopted this C++ strategy back in 2013, when our mobile engineering team was relatively small and needed to s
Courier: Dropbox migration to gRPC
// By Ruslan Nigmatullin and Alexey Ivanov • Jan 08, 2019 Dropbox runs hundreds of services, written in different languages, which exchange millions of requests per second. At the core of our Service Oriented Architecture is Courier, our gRPC-based Remote Procedure Call (RPC) framework. While developing Courier, we learned a lot about extending gRPC, optimizing performance for scale, and providing
How we rolled out one of the largest Python 3 migrations ever | Dropbox Tech Blog
How we rolled out one of the largest Python 3 migrations ever Dropbox is one of the most popular desktop applications in the world: You can install it today on Windows, macOS, and some flavors of Linux. What you may not know is that much of the application is written using Python. In fact, Drew’s very first lines of code for Dropbox were written in Python for Windows using venerable libraries such
