  Their monorepo

  I don't work at Google, but it's been referenced before. I believe it is a main part of the monorepo. It at least has a lot of front-end code in it.

  Probably an internal repository.

  In addition to what the other commenters said, I believe it is also the name of their web server executable which includes the core Google search code. Written mostly in C++ but also ships with some Python scripts and protobuf linking it to other services. I don't work at Google, this is just what I heard.

  google3 is Google's monorepo. Most Google engineers now work within google3. Exceptions include Android and most of the Chrome ecosystem.

  "google3: The internal name for our main Piper source repository, and identifies the third incarnation of the source layout for Google production code." "Piper: Google’s internal source control system: https://research.google.com/pubs/pub45424.html" https://research.google.com/pubs/pub45424.html" Which is a pretty interesting read https://opensource.google.com/docs/glossary/ https://opensource.google.com/docs/glossary/
