Lyft Engineering

Lyft's engineering blog, strongest on ride sharing marketplace problems: travel time estimation, pickups, experimentation beyond simple A/B tests, metric governance and streaming data with Apache Flink. The data science posts are unusually rigorous about causal inference in two sided markets. Lyft also created and open sourced the Envoy proxy.
