Twitter first promoted the Partly Cloud project in 2018. It brought cold data storage and Hadoop clusters to Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Due to the successful cooperation between the two parties, Twitter decided to go further. Now, it moves offline data analysis, data processing, and machine learning tasks to Google Data Cloud. The latter will analyze user usage data on the Twitter platform faster and improve service.
Twitter pointed out that there are a large number of data points behind users’ actions. They include tweets, likes, and retweets. Every day, the Twitter data platform has to digest and sort out several trillion events, process hundreds of petabytes of data, and more than 10 clusters.
