Um why not enough and not too much? This alone doesn't say anything in regard to twitter's user count.

This means twitter had omni backend tooling that have manual/programmatic admin level access to production database.

This is a very bad idea, access to production tables should be through a controlled medium and always challenged.

Any 20 person startup in cyber security-adjacent fields has thought more about this than Twitter? Jeez this is not a good look.
