The Project:
CodeBig is an API proxying service that provides rate limiting and authentication services to internal APIs. We've built an in-house solution built on Open Source technologies like nginx, lua and OAuth; which has been broadly adopted within the company. We support over a thousand services, and handle a peak load of over 33,000 requests per second. We're now looking forward to solving challenges like service registry and service discovery at the same level of scale.

- We value leadership through service over fighting turf wars; we get aheadby helping others succeed.
- We value actively and humbly seeking honest feedback overpreserving our egos.
- We treat customers as future collaborators rather than as tickets to beclosed.
- We are good listeners, and listen twice as much as we talk. (2 ears, 1mouth)
- We value making decisions with research and reason over tradition or fear; we are fans of the scientific method.
- We value quality of release over speed of delivery.
- We happily teach others the things we have learned.
