This whole application is open source, which can be found on GitHub. We'll be dipping into code samples throughout but it will be light touch - so I would recommend checking out the full code to see more detail.
Twitter communicates via HTTP requests, therefore the logical solution here is to use API Gateway; a fully managed API service from AWS which gives you a public endpoint and they handle all scaling and infrastructural management. You can directly integrate with many services so you can have no-code API that pushes to a SQS Queue for example, and then suck in vast amounts of requests to process through in a manageable way.
As everything should be built in my opinion, the infrastructure is specified with code, so the whole application from the actual code, to the setting up of infrastructure is from a single application built using the AWS Cloud Development Kit. This means you can pull the code, and with a single command deploy the whole application, including infrastructure, to AWS and be in production within minutes. As it is all code and in one location then it is fully version controlled.
