Developer Ecosystems for Software Safety – Communications of the ACM 🚀
https://cacm.acm.org/practice/developer-ecosystems-for-software-safety/
Describes practices used at Google to improve software quality and security.
Safe deployment practices:
-
Cloud platforms provide higher-level abstractions and consistency.
-
Config-as-code replaces GUI- and CLI-driven configuration with a process that is more trackable and accountable.
-
Zero Touch Prod and safe proxies protect systems from human error.
At Google, we sometimes say, "Software engineering is programming integrated over time."
...Google addresses this challenge by designing a developer ecosystem to ensure that all services developed and deployed in this environment have the desired properties. We achieve high levels of assurance by applying the principle of “Design for Understandability” — Key developer ecosystem components are designed to ensure the property for any arbitrary application, assuming only that application code is well-typed, passes conformance checks, and satisfies basic assumptions.

API Improvement Proposals 🚀
https://google.aip.dev/
This is Google's public API style guide. It is a living document, continually debated and revised by Google's API governance team and everyone who interacts with them. Is it safe to use externally? That's the intent, but it's not clear what, if any, stability guarantees are being made.
Still, for anyone who wants to use Google's public API client generators and other tooling, conforming to the AIPs is a must.
