Your post implies they made the libraries you listed, but they certainly didn't make Mesos or most of those things.

I think Mesos is the only one from that list they didn't make, they were just an early adopter on that one

  You're right, they didn't make it and open source it. But they did work closely on it's creation, as far as I know. (edited above post to remove Mesos mention).

    You're actually right Benjamin Hindman now CEO of Mesosphere Inc. started what became the Apache Mesos project while a PHD student at Berkeley, He later left Berkeley, interned at Google, then took a full time role at Twitter where he built out Mesos at scale. His linkedIn bio: Member of the Technical Staff Twitter March 2010 – May 2013 (3 years 3 months) Built out Apache Mesos (http://mesos.apache.org http://mesos.apache.org).

  Storm shouldn't really be on the list fwiw. They bought it and then replaced it with Heron after a couple years but barely worked on Storm in the interim. That was all Nathan.

I think they played a big part in shaping Mesos early on if any of the interviews/talks I've listened to are any indicator. They were one of the early adopters and hired one of the people that created the project at Berkley.

In fact they did purely make most of those things. Also they took Mesos from a barely working prototype to a system that scales to 100K+ nodes running many thousands of different workloads in production. They did that not only by hiring Benjamin and paying him to work on it but also by surrounding him with two of the strongest engineers I've ever worked with (John Sirois and Bill Farner) as well as 3 or 4 more I didn't work with as much so I can't say how much they added but it was clearly a large investment. Effectively they seed funded it for almost 4 years. Other people worked on it too, but they were the lion's share of the commits and did almost all of Aurora too.
