What does Twitter's architecture diagram looks like?

Question

I'm building a service somewhat like Twitter and in the process of creating the design.

I looked at Twitter's open source projects on github, and on some alternative open source projects for part of the design example

So I have a general idea of what is needed to accomplish my task. I failed to find Twitters actual architecture diagram or an article containing an overview about it.

What does Twitter's architecture diagram looks like?

Thanks

It would be difficult to find a single, grand architecture diagram explaining all Twitter services. However, you can find high level overviews and articles dealing with specific parts of it.

An overview from a Twitter engineering lead is here.

You can follow the Twitter engineering blog for updates.

This video is about their move from ROR to the JVM.

An article on tweaking Twitter's architecture.

This one deals with their storage backend.
