That doesn't mean GCP is bad unless they totally switched to AWS. I believe this is just part of multi cloud approach.

If AWS is running 100% of timelines it's not a "multi cloud approach". AWS is the bedrock of the entire Twitter experience.

Multi cloud means cross cloud redundancy, but there's none of that here.
