It really feels like tech best practices have made lots of headway in the past 5 years within the U.S. government. Looks like this analytics frontend was brought to us by 18F, with the codebase even hosted on GitHub[0]. Other governments in the US also seem to be using this like the city of Los Angeles[1].&lt;p&gt;0. &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;18F&amp;#x2F;analytics.usa.gov&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;18F&amp;#x2F;analytics.usa.gov&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. &lt;a href=&quot;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;analyticsdash-46.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;analyticsdash-46.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>

I’d been tangentially aware of USPS’s pretty solid improvements to their digital architecture&amp;#x2F;offerings, but I didn’t realize they’d grown that much.</text></comment>
