Google JavaScript: Wiz, AMP
While supporting and improving popular open source framework Angular framework,
Google is internally using an alternative, not open, framework called "Wiz"
"Wiz runs most of Google's consumer web apps."
Wiz is used in combination with AMP (Accelerated Mobile Pages) web components.
Default internal protocol for Google tools is Protocol Buffers, not popular JSON/REST.
Not to mention that while externally Google is pushing Kubernetes, internally is still using Borg.
This is an informative interview with Tech lead of the AMP Project:

ELT Data Lake <= ETL Data Warehouse
informative podcast interview:Data Warehouse with Christian Kleinerman - Software Engineering Daily
Data lake - Wikipedia
"A data lake is a system or repository of data stored in its natural format,[1] usually object blobs or files. A data lake is usually a single store of all enterprise data including raw copies of source system data and transformed data used for tasks such as reporting, visualization, analytics and machine learning. A data lake can include structured data from relational databases (rows and columns), semi-structured data (CSV, logs, XML, JSON), unstructured data (emails, documents, PDFs) and binary data (images, audio, video). [2]
A data swamp is a deteriorated data lake that is either inaccessible to its intended users or is providing little value."
What is next, how about "data ocean" metaphor:) That is web of data.

Quantum Computing Advantage
Quantum Advantage Formally Proved for Short-Depth Quantum Circuits @ InfoQ
what is proven?
"parallel quantum algorithms running in a constant time period are strictly more powerful than their classical counterparts; they are probably better at solving certain linear algebra problems associated with binary quadratic forms."
Quantum advantage with shallow circuits | Science
Quantum supremacy - Wikipedia
"Quantum supremacy or quantum advantage is the potential ability of quantum computing devices to solve problems that classical computers practically cannot.[1] In computational complexity-theoretic terms, this generally means providing a superpolynomial speedup over the best known or possible classical algorithm"

Google Jib: build Java Docker images better
Introducing Jib — build Java Docker images better | Google Cloud Blog
"...Jib, an open-source Java containerizer from Google that lets Java developers build containers using the Java tools they know. Jib is a fast and simple container image builder that handles all the steps of packaging your application into a container image. It does not require you to write a Dockerfile or have docker installed, and it is directly integrated into Maven and Gradle—just add the plugin to your build and you'll have your Java application containerized in no time."

Open Source: new commercial licenses
Free code + premium extension is one of strategies for open source projects.
There are some new licenses being introduced for this purpose, like Commons Clause license.
Much more profitable are not-open customization offered as a services by major public cloud providers, though.

data: Graph formats and libraries
Data are often stored in proprietary or custom formats.
Complex data are often inherently graphs (not chart).
There are many serialization formats for representing graphs.
Domain-specific graph formats are simpler, while often limited to visualization.
General-purpose formats are often verbose not intuitive.
RDF (from semantic web) is most general, specific, and often quite verbose (XML)
while its N3 variant is very compact and simple.
DOT (graph description language) - Wikipedia
undirected
// The graph name and the semicolons are optional graph graphname { a -- b -- c; b -- d; }
directed
digraph graphname { a -> b -> c; b -> d; }
