Twitter will use AWS’s industry-leading
services and global infrastructure to power the real-time, global
traffic and improve the experience for people who use Twitter
Today, Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), an Amazon.com, Inc.
company (NASDAQ: AMZN), announced that Twitter (NYSE: TWTR) has
selected AWS to provide global cloud infrastructure to deliver
Twitter timelines. Under the multi-year deal, Twitter will leverage
AWS’s proven infrastructure and portfolio of services to support
delivery of millions of daily Tweets. This expansion onto AWS marks
the first time that Twitter is leveraging the public cloud to scale
their real-time service. Twitter will rely on the breadth and depth
of AWS, including capabilities in compute, containers, storage, and
security, to reliably deliver the real-time service with the lowest
latency, while continuing to develop and deploy new features to
improve how people use Twitter. The new agreement builds on the
companies’ more than decade-long collaboration, where AWS continues
to provide Twitter with storage, compute, database, and content
delivery services to support its distribution of images, videos and
ad content.
Millions of people and organizations use Twitter to share and
react to what’s happening and what people are talking about right
now, and Twitter will leverage AWS infrastructure and services to
continue improving performance and security for them. Twitter and
AWS will create an architecture that extends Twitter’s on-premises
infrastructure to enable them to seamlessly run and scale the
real-time service globally, increase its reliability using AWS’s
fault-tolerant infrastructure, and rapidly move new features into
production around the world. Twitter will take advantage of AWS
Graviton2-based instances on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon
EC2) to power its cloud-based workloads, and use AWS container
services to develop and deploy new features and applications
consistently across its hybrid infrastructure.
In addition, Twitter will continue to use AWS services such as
Amazon CloudFront (AWS’s fast content delivery network service that
securely delivers data, videos, applications, and APIs with low
latency and high transfer speeds to customers globally) and Amazon
DynamoDB (AWS’s key-value database that delivers single-digit
millisecond performance at any scale).
“We are excited to work with AWS to expand the infrastructure
Twitter uses to serve the public conversation as we grow globally,”
said Parag Agrawal, Chief Technology Officer, Twitter. “The
collaboration with AWS will improve performance for people who use
Twitter by enabling us to serve Tweets from data centers closer to
our customers at the same time as we leverage the Arm-based
architecture of AWS Graviton2 instances. In addition to helping us
scale our infrastructure, this work with AWS enables us to ship
features faster as we apply AWS’s diverse and growing portfolio of
services.”
“Twitter’s decision to rely on AWS infrastructure and services
for its real-time workloads will help them instantly scale their
global footprint up and down without ever compromising the
experience for people who use Twitter,” said Matt Garman, Vice
President, Sales and Marketing at Amazon Web Services, Inc. “By
using AWS container services to create a seamless hybrid
on-premises and cloud environment, Twitter can innovate and deliver
new experiences quickly and cost-effectively.”
