### AI overview

Meta introduced ZGateway, a stateless proxy layer for its ZippyDB distributed key-value store, to reduce connection and reliability problems caused by a large client fleet. The gateway handles more than 1 billion operations per second and about 40% of ZippyDB traffic; Meta estimates it reduces persistent connections by roughly 19 times. It centralizes traffic management functions such as shard resolution, caching, admission control, and request batching.
