Important to admit when I’m wrong & firing them was truly one of my biggest mistakes

@schrep Server control team knows because they stop working from time to time. That’s why they have the “critical 40” list.

@schrep True. Server side can (and has been) brute-forced, but that can’t solve weak Internet connections & older phones. Worth noting that Twitter in India & many other countries is slow even on latest iPhone.

@schrep There are ~1200 “microservices” server side, of which ~40 are critical to Twitter working at all, according to server control team. Trimming down that 1200 number, reducing data usage, serialized trips & simplifying app are all needed to improve speed of use.

@schrep Twitter is very slow in India, Indonesia & many other countries. This is fact, not “claim”. 10 to 15 secs to refresh homeline tweets is common. Sometimes, it doesn’t work at all, especially on Android phones. Only question is how much delay is due to bandwidth/latency/app.

@sampullara Part of today will be turning off the “microservices” bloatware. Less than 20% are actually needed for Twitter to work!

@sampullara I was told ~1200 RPCs independently by several engineers at Twitter, which matches # of microservices. The ex-employee is wrong. Same app in US takes ~2 secs to refresh (too long), but ~20 secs in India, due to bad batching/verbose comms. Actually useful data transferred is low.
