TWASE has been built from scratch with the single goal of being a high performance anti-spam/twam engine for Twitter. There's a lot of work going on under the hood to optimise and boost processing times following the Engine 0.8 release.

Currently, the TWASE platform runs across no more than 5 VPS machines on Debian GNU/Linux and built with opensource tools - PHP and MySQL in the most part. The modular nature of TWASE also affords non-PHP (i.e. faster C/C++ plugins) to be slotted into the processing stream and therefore can be extended and enhanced with ease.

TWASE is free to use by developers who wish to utilise the platform in their own creations. However, in order to provide a fair service to all users, there is a throttle in place to reduce calls to the API so that the server infrastructure can keep up.

Should you require more QPM, please do get in Contact so that we can work together to accommodate your needs.

The core Engine was architected and created by James Chivers and the initial API code built by Marc Hampson.
