    Google Engineering Practices Docs

    Google's Engineering Practices documentation

    The eng-practices project by Google is a public repository that documents the company’s established engineering best practices, accumulated through years of large-scale software development across diverse teams and languages.

    NGINX Admin’s Handbook

    NGINX Admin’s Handbook

    How to improve NGINX performance, security, and other important things

    nginx-admins-handbook is a practical, in-depth guide for configuring, securing, and operating NGINX across real-world deployments. It distills years of research, notes, and field experience into a single handbook that complements the official docs with concrete rules, explanations, and curated external references. The handbook spans fundamentals and advanced topics alike, from HTTP and SSL/TLS basics to reverse proxy patterns, performance tuning, debugging workflows, and hardening strategies. A centerpiece is its prioritized checklist of 79 rules, grouped by criticality, helping readers focus on what most impacts security, reliability, and speed. Instead of copy-paste snippets in isolation, it emphasizes understanding trade-offs, avoiding common pitfalls, and balancing security with usability. Designed for system administrators and web application engineers, it aims to be a living companion that encourages experimentation, measurement, and continuous improvement of NGINX configurations

    ExpressJS.com

    ExpressJS.com

    The Express.js Website

    This repository contains the source for the Express web site and documentation, the canonical reference for developers using the Express framework. It organizes material into API reference, getting-started guides, best practices, and topic-focused explanations such as routing, middleware, error handling, templating, and performance. Versioned docs help readers match API behavior to the framework version they’re running, reducing confusion during upgrades. The site showcases common patterns through concise examples, making it easy to translate concepts into working code. In addition to core Express usage, the documentation surfaces ecosystem guidance on things like security headers, structured logging, and integration with view engines or ORMs. Because it is open to community contributions, the documentation evolves alongside Express itself, reflecting real-world questions and solutions.

    Office Docs PowerShell

    Office Docs PowerShell

    PowerShell Reference for Office Products

    This repository aggregates documentation, examples, and cmdlet references for PowerShell modules that manage Microsoft 365 and Office services. It collects guidance for admins on tasks such as Exchange Online mail flow, SharePoint site provisioning, Teams configuration, and tenant-level policy settings—often including parameter examples, common scenarios, and troubleshooting notes. The docs are structured so operators can copy/paste ready examples into their automation scripts or adapt them for bulk changes using CSV-driven loops. Because cloud management frequently involves idempotent, auditable operations, the content emphasizes safe patterns (what changes will do, UI equivalents, and rollback hints). Versioning matters here: the repository tracks changes as Microsoft updates service APIs and cmdlets, helping teams stay current and avoid deprecated workflows.

    Open Guide to AWS

    Open Guide to AWS

    Amazon Web Services — a practical guide

    og-aws (The Open Guide to Amazon Web Services) is a community-maintained reference that consolidates tips, best practices, and practical knowledge for effectively using AWS.

The guide is designed to be concise, practical, and continuously updated, making it a valuable resource for both beginners and experienced cloud practitioners. It addresses topics like cost management, lock-in risks, service selection, and alternatives, helping users make informed architectural decisions. As a collaborative effort, og-aws grows and evolves with community contributions, ensuring its content remains relevant in the fast-changing cloud ecosystem.

    TensorFlow-ZH

    TensorFlow-ZH

    Chinese version of the official document of TensorFlow

    The tensorflow-zh repository is a Chinese translation of the official TensorFlow documentation, organized to make the core guides, tutorials, and reference material accessible to Chinese speakers. It was initiated shortly after TensorFlow’s open-sourcing, with translation and proofreading contributions from a community of volunteers who aimed to bridge the language barrier for learners in China and other Mandarin communities. The repo mirrors the structure of the original English docs: chapters, sections, code examples, API references, and supplementary content like configuration and build guides. It includes additional files like a PDF version (compiled LaTeX/TeX sources), table of contents mappings, and translation metadata to track contributions. Over time, the repo has evolved to stay in sync with upstream changes, providing versioned snapshots of the translated content.
