A collection of working examples demonstrating Google's open-source technology stack for cloud-native development.
StartupOS is a collection of working examples and tutorials that demonstrate how to use Google's open-source technology stack for building and deploying cloud-native applications. It provides practical implementations of tools like Protocol Buffers, gRPC, and Bazel in a monorepo setup. The project helps developers learn Google's development practices through hands-on experience with real-world scenarios.
Developers and teams adopting Google's open-source stack for cloud-native development, particularly those interested in polyglot applications, monorepos, and scalable build systems. It's also valuable for engineers learning best practices in API design, microservices, and continuous integration.
StartupOS offers authentic, production-ready examples directly from Google, reducing the learning curve for their open-source tools. It provides a cohesive reference for integrating multiple technologies in a real project, unlike fragmented documentation or isolated tutorials.
Working examples of Google's Open Source stack and deployment to the cloud.
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Provides production-ready implementations directly from Google, such as comprehensive Protocol Buffers examples and gRPC integrations, ensuring best practices for scalable applications.
Supports multiple languages like Java and TypeScript through Google-maintained rules, with community extensions for others, as detailed in the supported languages section.
Includes Bazel for fast, reproducible builds without Dockerfiles and configurations for Kubernetes and Firebase, demonstrated in examples like Docker and k8s configs.
Offers Cloud Shell tutorials for practical experience, such as code formatting with Bazel and API backwards compatibility with Protocol Buffers, enabling learning by doing.
Bazel requires significant setup and expertise, which can be time-consuming and complex compared to simpler build tools like Maven or npm.
The repo only supports Linux and Mac directly; Windows users must rely on Windows Subsystem for Linux, as admitted in the Platforms section.
Heavily focused on Google technologies like Protocol Buffers, gRPC, and Google Cloud, limiting flexibility for teams using alternative stacks or cloud providers.
