    I’m curious how Twitter is still running. How can the servers stay up as the support structure rots around them…

      I mean usually if these systems are well architected and have enough head room they will just continue to run. It becomes problematic if you introduce change and don’t know them well. Change is the biggest factor leading to incidents.

      Twitter servers are run by Google in Google datacenters. If Twitter just ceased to exist but would continue to mostly pay Google, it would stay up and running.
