Today was a long day at Twitter HQ, but the engineering team made significant progress in solving two major problems. The first issue was that the fanout service for Following feed was getting overloaded when users tweeted, resulting in up to 95% of tweets not being delivered at all. After much hard work and collaboration, the team has now successfully pulled from search (aka Earlybird) instead of relying on the fanout service. The second problem addressed today was an issue with notifications not being sent out correctly. The engineering team worked diligently to identify and fix any bugs related to this issue, ensuring that users will now receive their notifications as expected. The hard work and dedication of the engineering team paid off today, as they were able to solve two major issues that have been plaguing Twitter users for some time. This is a huge step forward for both Twitter and its users, who can now rest assured knowing that their tweets will be delivered as expected and they will receive notifications without interruption.
