[Today, 19:00 CEST] Zoom: Minimal Modeling of Twitter.com, without database
Today at 19:00 CEST we’re going to do a two-hour long Zoom session: “Minimal Modeling of Twitter.com, without database”.
I’m going to show how to create a minimal model of Twitter, having no access to its database, just by observing https://twitter.com/ itself. (Also it turns out that today is my 15 year Twitter anniversary).
28 people have already registered. Thank you, looking forward to see all of you in about nine hours.

Of course, we only model the parts that we have access to. There are huge parts of Twitter.com that are not accessible to us, such as advertising UI, content policy moderation tools, etc. But that’s fine: the user-visible part would be more than enough for an hour.
The purpose of this exercise is to show that Minimal Modeling can be a useful tool for modeling any service, decoupled from the physical database schema and technical details of a highly scalable data processing system.
We’ll have two hours. First hour: creating a structured Notion page with the minimal model: https://mokumplace.notion.site/Case-study-Twitter-2348e0753a9744a6b4147cce17c7c707.
Second hour: database modeling discussion. The first hour will be recorded and later shared. The second hour is online-only, no recording :)
