GIFEE is "Google's infrastructure for everyone else"
Who knows really. Google things for everyone?
GitHub/GIFEE is a place to experiment with ideas based on Google's infrastructure and for reference architectures.
GIFEE will initially be composed of some of Google's early foundational systems such as GFS, Chubby and BigTable.
GIFEE projects will likely be hosted at gifee.cloud
Yes all GIFEE projects will be open source
Yes. Whether it be reference architectures, docs, images, whatever. Please join in on the fun.
GIFEE has a slack at gifee.slack.com. Invite yourself at slack.gifee.cloud
