Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Netflix, and Google.

Interested in the opinions of people who work there, as well as those who don't.

Best may have different interpretations, so interested in knowing about your criterion for selecting the best as well.

Netflix has open sourced a lot of code that you can look at. Hysterix, Eureka, Titus, etc. Disclaimer, I worked on open sourcing Titus and I think it has some great Java code.

- Zstd compression, fb

- Brotli compression, google

- Clickhouse (highly efficient OLAP db), yandex

- ESBuild (extremely fast js bundler), figma

- TailwindCSS (rapid css styling made ez)

- Caddy (nice auto-ssl for the lazy, also nice proxy)

- HAProxy (highly configurable proxy/lb)

- uWebSockets (highly performant web server with websockets; used by bitfinex, kraken, trello; has uWebSockets.js api for nodejs)

I really like this https://github.com/awslabs/aurora-snapshot-tool

It's a small and simple codebase, that implements a cross account DB backup capability on your AWS deployments.

I think it's an example of wonderfully written infrastructure python code, clear, concise and very easy to understand as a result.
