One of the things that I think is sad about the decimation of Twitter eng is that Twitter was doing a lot of interesting (and high ROI) engineering work that, at younger companies, is mostly outsourced to "the cloud" or open source projects A few examples off the top of my head:

@vkostyukov @TwitterEng @finagle twemproxy was a life saver while adding Redis to Yahoo’s production stack many years back, saving us from having to deal with the quirks of each language’s immature Redis client libraries.

@thinkingfish @jreichhold Another incident I recall was with LRU allocator in fall of 2010 which evicted hot keys leading to doubling of traffic to DB. This was the impetus to create Random allocator and the birth of Twemcache in preparation for our upcoming Super Bowl traffic

@thinkingfish @jreichhold Also recall the time when all the caches were restarted simultaneously instead of rolling restart 😬 and I got a call from @rgbenson at night with a message: “manju, don’t panic but all the caches have been restarted”. And I replied to rob as “you mean by all, ALL caches”. 😱
