Visit Flickr Code

Flickr Code is a blog that documents Flickr's engineering work, covering topics such as API development, legacy system maintenance, and open source practices. It addresses the need for a public record of how the company's technical teams approach problems like API observability and community governance in open source projects.

The site publishes articles on subjects including API observability for PHP systems, open source codes of conduct, and contributions to GitHub repositories. It links to Flickr's developer guidelines, API documentation, and job listings, and covers work on Flickr's public API used by external developers and internal clients.

Flickr Code is aimed at developers, engineers, and others interested in Flickr's technical work and open source activity. It is a freely accessible blog with no stated plans, editions, or pricing.
