Over 1000 services manage Twitter, over 1,000,000 cores.</li> <li><a href="http://twitter.github.io" rel="nofollow">http://twitter.github.io</a></li> <li>Heron is a newly open-sourced replacement for Storm. Supporting all of our own code isn't sustainable, need an open source community.</li> <li>The Ellen Degeneres photo tweet from the 2015 Academy Awards knocked a couple of services over. 25% traffic spike, hit 255k/tweets per second. 2016 Academy Awards had 2x the traffic, no failures.</li> <li>30,000 node Mesos cluster (probably largest). "We don't like being the biggest of anything, we find the edge cases." 130,000,000 containers launched daily.</li> <li>Some of their acquisitions were in public cloud, they don't move them in-house. They're actually pushing new services out to AWS where they can. Vine, TellApart, Crashlytics, MoPub, BlueFin, etc. Ad-serving is mostly in AWS. Users: Time Warner, Twitter (30,000 host deployment), Apple Siri.</li> </ul> <h2>What exactly is scheduling?</h2> <ul> <li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMC_Control-M" rel="nofollow">BMC CONTROL-M</a></li> <li>Coté gets Matt to "checks out" his crudes understanding.
