Besides all the great comments here about Netflix being not a tech company. I will add that most of Netflix tech blogs lately are just describing integrating a bunch of Open source Apache/Spring Framework software.
The "technical challenges" they are facing are similar to those Enterprisey IT developers face when they could not wrap their head around Kludgy Java framework APIs.
Also If I look at Netflix OSS at github it gives that feeling of below average enterprise Java software with deeply nested packages with probably 5 percent of meat and 95 percent scaffolding / config around it.
I wouldn't be surprised to learn if Netflix's famed extensive systems monitoring is not because they are on cutting edge but
that million instances of half-assed Java microservices do need endless monitoring just for standard http/database request processing.
So yeah, Netflix is not tech company in many meanings of tech.
