About this listen

Ryan Cole explores Twitter's near-collapse in 2008 when its Ruby on Rails monolith buckled under explosive growth. He unpacks the brutal shift from vertical to horizontal scaling, the Fail Whale era, and the multi-year re-architecture into microservices that saved the platform—revealing why building systems at scale means constantly tearing down what works to build what survives tomorrow.
