Every day, trillions of image download requests are made from Meta's family of apps. Zuzanna works on the Media Platform Team that owns the entire flow from serving images from the CDN to displaying the pixels on your phone. One of the project she and her team recently worked on was rolling out HDR images to Instagram and Threads and in this episode's interview, Zuzanna tells show host Pascal how they partnered with large phone manufacturers to develop and roll out the new feature.
