All Things Distributed
The blog of Amazon CTO Werner Vogels, on the thinking behind AWS systems such as S3 and Lambda's networking, building scalable control planes, the changing economics of analytics and engineering culture. Posts are less frequent than a company blog, but each explains the reasoning behind very large designs from someone who was involved. Good for building judgement about distributed systems rather than learning a specific tool.
