Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk has mentioned Twitter is “very slow” in India and plenty of different nations.

“Twitter is very slow in India, Indonesia & many other countries. This is a fact, not a “claim”. 10 to fifteen secs to refresh homeline tweets is frequent. Sometimes, it doesn’t work in any respect, particularly on Android telephones. The solely query is how a lot delay is because of bandwidth/latency/app,” Mr. Musk, Twitter’s new proprietor, tweeted.

In one other tweet, he mentioned he would “like to apologise for Twitter being super slow in many countries. The app is doing >1000 poorly batched RPCs just to render a home timeline! I was told ~1200 RPCs independently by several engineers at Twitter, which matches # of microservices. The ex-employee is wrong,” he mentioned.

In one other tweet, he mentioned “Same app in the U.S. takes ~2 secs to refresh [too long], but ~20 secs in India, due to bad batching/verbose comms. Actually useful data transferred is low.

There are ~1200 “microservices” server facet, of which ~40 are vital to Twitter working in any respect, based on the server management crew.

Trimming down that 1200 quantity, decreasing information utilization, serialised journeys & simplifying the app are all wanted to enhance the velocity of use.”
