Meta's infrastructure chief departs, leaving the servers without their longtime guide

Santosh Janardhan is stepping down as Meta's head of infrastructure. He joined the company in 2009, making the change notable for a business whose services depend on extensive computing systems.

The racks and networks may keep humming, but someone still has to be responsible for making the whole arrangement work.
