This repository provides a comprehensive lookup table of Google's internal technologies and services, mapping them to their open-source or real-world equivalents. It's designed to assist former Google employees transitioning to external environments by identifying familiar tools and concepts.

How It Works

The project is structured as a comparative table, categorizing technologies across core, infrastructure, storage, services, DevOps, security, and IT operations. Each entry lists a Google internal technology, its external Google Cloud equivalent (if applicable), and corresponding open-source or real-world alternatives. This approach offers a direct mapping, simplifying the discovery of analogous tools for users familiar with Google's ecosystem.

Quick Start & Requirements

• No installation or execution commands are provided, as this is a static lookup table.
• No specific software dependencies are required to view the information.

Highlighted Details

• Extensive coverage across numerous technology domains, from data processing (MapReduce, Bigtable) to infrastructure (Borg, GFS) and DevOps (Blaze, Sisyphus).
• Includes mappings for less common areas like security (Zanzibar) and people operations (OKR, HRIS).
• Provides context by linking to related resources like "startup-os" and "System Design Primer."

Maintenance & Community

• The project is maintained by jhuangtw, a former Googler.
• Pull requests are welcomed for additions and corrections.
• A disclaimer notes that some naming might be dated due to the author's departure from Google.

Licensing & Compatibility

• The repository does not explicitly state a license.
• Compatibility for commercial use or closed-source linking is not specified.

Limitations & Caveats

The project's information may be outdated, as the author left Google "a number of years ago." There is no explicit license, which could impact commercial use or integration into proprietary systems.
