Politely correct me if I'm wrong...isn't Spinnaker originally a Netflix system, having nothing to do with Google? Unless perhaps the author is alluding to open source contributions by Google after the tool went open source?
- svachalek 8y agoIt is originally a Netflix creation but Google has been a contributor since it went open source. In particular, the canary analysis features were co-developed with Google. (I was a contributor on the Netflix side.)
- techcofounder 8y agoThat is correct. Google played a big role in open-sourcing Spinnaker alongside Netflix back in Nov 2015.
- jedberg 8y agoIt's just a question of where you draw the line. Google made a lot of contributions after it went open source, particularly with the canary analysis. But I mean, I evaluated the initial design docs, so did I build it too? :)
- ajordens 8y agoNot that it really matters but Google had been an active participant in the project for at least a year prior to the open sourcing in 2015. Meh.
- mrtrustor 8y agoAuthor here. As mentioned in the other comments, Google is a very active contributor to Spinnaker. Today, Netflix and Google are the 2 companies contributing the most to the project, hence this sentence.
