I really like the segment engineering blog. https://segment.com/blog/categories/engineering/

They run a pretty modern cloud stack using fun technology like terraform, which gives me serious envy as well as inspiration. They also have some ridiculously high quality posts with open source code included such as: https://segment.com/blog/the-segment-aws-stack/ (highly recommended reading).

Awesome answers here. Some self marketing - I developed a parser for some engineering blogs. I did it for myself, and created a simple web app to serve content - http://kubiq.co. I'm going to add more companies soon. Enjoy!

Not an "engineering blog" in the traditional sense. Percona has been posting deep-dive high-quality pieces about database performance and the inner workings of InnoDB since around 2006, so more than 10 years now. If you've ever had to troubleshoot a weird performance issue in MySQL as an Ops guy or DBA, you've probably ended up finding this in your Google results:

Disclaimer: I am currently employed by Percona, although that is not my motivation for sharing this.

Btw, I'm thinking to create iOS app as well. Anyone will use it?

Thoughtbot, in addition to having a really good blog, is at least in the running for one of the best names (Giant Robots Smashing Into Other Giant Robots). https://robots.thoughtbot.com/ I love it because the articles are often small, one off tips re: vim, the command line, ruby, etc. Really neat stuff.
