@eecraft Yes, datacenter/ops staff, SREs, even engineers (Compute, etc.) are in my numbers.
Nov 5, 2022 3:16 PM
Minus GCP you are looking at ~480MM in annual infra spend. I’m not an accountant, but it is hard to cut $1B out of $480MM.
Nov 5, 2022 3:16 PM
Of that ~$60MM a month, ~$20MM was GCP (Twitter’s only real cloud infra) which TBH you could probably cut.
Nov 5, 2022 3:16 PM
Twitter’s production infrastructure, as of a year ago, cost around ~$60MM a month to run. Or around ~$720MM a year.
