    Are these services developed and provided by GCP/AWS, or are they Twitter developed services running on their cloud platforms?

      I’m not 100% sure on the answer to that.

      Twitter relies on Google Cloud to host services…

      So I’m assuming that means that Twitter is either using GCP to host cloud-based internally developed services, or SaaS deployments in the cloud, but that’s just a complete guess on my part.

        Yeah I think you’re right. I wasn’t sure if the Smyte part was different from what the first half of the article was discussing.

        The author could have probably mentioned Smyte earlier… Just means Twitter isn’t fighting over access to intellectual property, just hosting services (not that at this scale that’s not also a problem)
