This seems like a fine time to look back on the rather decent API platform our team built at Twitter.

@MoveAI_ This looks incredible! I'm making an animation for our annual "christmas card" in blender and this would be a huge help.

I am going to miss this place. We built something special here, and I do not expect to see its like ever again. I have worked here at Twitter for over 11 years. Back in July, I was the 27th most tenured employee at the company. Now I'm the 15th. I am not going to click "yes"

@ActualAmateur I really, truly loved working with you. Thank you for everything.

After an amazing 9 years, I resigned from Twitter today as the tech lead of Web Infra. Here I've met the most incredible people. I've had the closest community. I had the best time. Thank you! 🫡 #lovedwhereyouworked

@arivero @graphql_java This is accurate, GraphQL adoption has been very successful at twitter. Most external api calls now go through graphql then strato and then into a mix of thrift services that often front storage layers. GraphQL is a large percent of all inbound requests to twitter.com

According this thread, it has been succesful

It seems that sangria was removed, substituted by @graphql_java

Flash forward to 2022. Over 5 years, we’ve migrated almost every api used by the Twitter app into a unified graphql interface. Getting api changes into production used to be measured in weeks, now it's measured in hours.

Yesterday we saw a lot of discussion about the internals of Twitter, and a lot of people shouting one to other "you do not know how Twitter works". Mostly true. I have tried to find sources on how twitter works, and failed. Thread:

@ryanoneill Thanks Ryan! I remember interviewing with you and thinking "ryan's a good dude, I could learn a lot from him". Thanks for everything.

@ActualAmateur Thanks George! You and I honestly made an incredible duo, most of my all-time fave memories were projects that you and I paired on.
I'm glad to see you still have The Dangerous Mutations Block! 💙
