Long Cheng is a pragmatic software engineer with 11+ years building and operating large-scale distributed systems and cloud-native platforms, now focused on Kubernetes and cloud infrastructure in the San Francisco Bay Area. He designed and operated high-impact orchestration platforms at LinkedIn and Meta, including a centralized AKS-based container platform with GitOps and a redesigned control plane for Meta’s Twine that serves the majority of Meta services. His work spans platform architecture, CI/CD self-hosted runners, caching systems that boosted artifact download throughput by 25x, observability, and Infrastructure-as-Code at multi-region scale. Comfortable moving between low-level control-plane concerns and developer-facing platform features, he combines deep distributed-systems expertise with a hands-on delivery style proven at hyperscale organizations.
