Google had the equivalent of etcd a long, long time ago.

True, but its a very technically sound product. Authoring it as an intern cannot be anything but a sign of prodigious skill.

As an amusing anecdote, I didn't drill for internship interviews either and I ended up at a successful startup by sheer luck. I did well there, but I never achieved the level of technical brilliance that OP did.

I feel like there were far more opportunities like this 8 years ago when I was doing that, though.

Was it general and polished enough to get traction though? What’s its name?

Chubby. It was the product that inspired Zookeeper and all its various incarnations, including etcd.

Ah, the attempt to claim credit for something that likely wasn’t inspired by Chubby at all.

etcd was inspired by a hash-map more so than Chubby.

etcd didn’t work initially; I wouldn’t call it polished.

It worked, it had a bug.
