the slow operational bitrot of twitter remains absolutely fascinating to witness. i get the feeling some people will point to it as a case-study against microservices, when realistically it's a case-study against firing the overwhelming majority of your employees and leaving a skeleton crew struggling to keep a major social media platform online while forcing them to implement the dumbest possible features.
i strongly recommend against doing this.
