I had asked a similar question on Quora [1] few years back. Here is the summary: - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Engineering?sk=notes - Google: http://google-engtools.blogspot.com/ - Twitter: http://engineering.twitter.com/ - Linkedin: http://engineering.linkedin.com/blog - Dropbox: https://tech.dropbox.com/ - Instagram: http://instagram-engineering.tumblr.com/ - Netflix: http://techblog.netflix.com/ - Flickr: h…

Knewton (where I once led marketing) flew mostly under the radar as a tech company because (a) NYC and (b) education, but the data science shop it built up a few years ago was killer, and the people who left went on to top tier companies. As a result of that talent, the tech blog there -- modeled after Netflix -- was solid.

FittedCloud is a small start-up that does automatic cloud resource optimization. They post regularly and go into topics ranging from technical details of machine learning to cost optimization for AWS resources (EBS, EC2, DynamoDB, etc).

As far as I can tell, they are the only company around that can automatically scale up and down EBS resources in a way that the customer only pays for what he or she uses, rather than paying for over-provisioned, unused storage...all without downtime or performance hic-cup. These guys know a lot about the cloud and storage.
