# Measuring the impact of Twitter network latency with CausalImpact

**[Twitter Engineering](https://daily.dev/sources/twitter)** · 6 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Twitter customers are affected by network latency, and an experiment was conducted to lower latency using a faster public cloud edge. The impact of the experiment was measured using the CausalImpact package from Google, which offers flexibility and modularity. A robust framework was developed for the causal impact analysis, and key metrics were selected to quantify the impact. The analysis revealed insights and challenges, including the importance of validation techniques and the potential impact of external shocks.
