Ask HN: How big of an engineering challenge is it to move Twitter over to x.com?

4 pointsrane1 comment

Considering the vast infrastructure, user base, and technical integrations of Twitter, I'm curious about the complexities involved in migrating its domain to x.com. How might this transition impact third-party applications and integrations that rely on Twitter's APIs? Would love to hear insights.

You either reroute traffic from twitter domains to the new X domain and it's subdomains.

Or you only use X for the front end and it just connects to the twitter domain in the backend.

The former will affect the existing product and the latter is just making changes to the new front end. I'd prefer the latter.
