Twitter commits Murder to GitHub (Code Deployment Using Bittorrent)

Murder is a method of using Bittorrent to distribute files to a large amount of servers within a production environment. This allows for scaleable and fast deploys in environments of hundreds to tens of thousands of servers where centralized distribution systems wouldnt otherwise function. A “Murder” is normally used to refer to a flock of crows, which in this case applies to a bunch of servers doing something.
