Development/Architecture
Architecture/Engineering
- The Platform Engineer
- Example Applications
- Open Telemetry Demo: A modification of Google’s Online Boutique, but with more integrations with Open Telementry
- RealWorld - The ultimate demo app, with multiple frontend and backend frameworks
- Google’s Online Boutique - True Microservice e-commerce app, written as a pologot style service covering most modern development languages today (Node, Go, Python, C#, Java)
- Google’s Bank of Anthos - A lighter microservice example app - only Python and Java. Both referencing PostgreSQL databases for persistence.
- WeaveWorks’ Sock Shop - Another example Microservice app. Leverages Spring Boot, Go, and Node.js. Also leverages RabbitMQ.

Tools
- Git: All configurations should be in a version management system, and git is probably the best available. For any open source code Github is pretty much the defacto host for a lot of projects.
- JQPlay: Quick way to debug jq filters. Also available as a Docker image
- Makefile: Explained in Makefiles for Modern Development
- Fossil SCM - Distributed source control with wiki, issues, etc.
Docker/Kubernetes Build Tools
- DevSpaces: Another tool for rapid rebuild/deploy/live environments
- Garden.io: Another tool for rapid rebuild/live build environments, with additional focus on CI/CD (versus Tilt)
- Tilt: Tool for rapid rebuild/live build environments.
