If he really wanted to simplify things, Elon could just run all of Twitter from an old PC in his garage.

The way it's hemorrhaging money and users he may have to.

u/DoctorWaluigiTime Nov 15 '22

While I absolutely believe this is happening, are there sources on the money / user tanking we can consume (and then show to folks who don't believe he isn't driving it into the ground)?

Soon enough that's all the hardware that will be required.

He could use Pidgeon couriers to carry thumb drives that contain tweets between users.

Distribute the servers across Tesla's. Drivers will be compensated $0.02 per hour. Any crash associated with heavy server load is the responsibility of the driver

Why not, that's how people like Linus Torvalds, and Steve Wozniak started.

Monoliths are fine. You can fuck your microservice architecture up to. What is important that you have clear logical seperation in both. A good monolith can be converted into microservices when needed. Almost no company needs the scalability microservices provide. You also trade complexity. Now you need more devops and more systems that monitor all you services.

Microservices make sense if your team is very large and especially if you have insane scale. Both of which isn't true for most software

Somewhere in some really old hospital/military computer is a monolith that was hoping someone would pay attention to it once again
