Google recently released several open source projects:

  • RatProxy: a passive web application security assessment tool
  • Protocol Buffers: a way of encoding structured data in an efficient yet extensible format and the format used for almost all of Google's internal RPC protocols and file formats.
  • GoogleTest: a framework for writing C++ tests on a variety of platforms (Linux, Mac OS X, Windows, Windows CE, and Symbian).

Interesting for developers to check out!

InfoQ is reporting the release of 2 open source projects by Orbitz, a big online travel company.

 

The first project is for the java platform: ERMA (Extremely Reusable Monitoring API), is "an instrumentation API that has been designed to be applicable for all monitoring needs" with the goal to "make instrumentation as simple as logging".

 

The second, built with Python, is Graphite, "a highly scalable real-time graphing system". this project seems similar to MRTG and RRDTool.
