First, you need to realize Facebook started small, and it turned out to be a big system and website. Now it is developed by many teams. Summing up, There are so many people working there.

In the beginning, Facebook was mostly built in HTML, CSS, Javascript, and PHP. Now several languages and technologies are used to develop it (Hack, PHP -HHVM-, Python, C++, Java, Erlang, D, XHP, Haskell).

To deliver a product, first, you'll need to know your MVP (Minimum Viable Product, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_viable_product), and when you build a decent website, just release it.
