Next DevProdEng Lowdown feature Meta (Facebook)

Meta (formerly Facebook) may be solving the hardest software productivity problem in the world today. The company operates at “human scale,” with the Facebook app alone serving 2.9B active monthly users. In addition to building all of their own release tools, Meta manages all the code from its most well-known apps—Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp, and Portal— from one massive monorepo. In this DevProdEng Lowdown webcast we chat with Adam McCormick from Meta’s FARE team (Facebook Mobile Apps Reliability Engineering) to get the lowdown on how Facebook does Developer Productivity Engineering. This webcast event will take place on Thursday, March 17th (10am PST | 1pm EST | 6pm GMT | 7pm CET).

INDUSTRY NEWS

Testcontainers, OpenRewrite, Micronaut latest OSS projects to get revved up by Gradle Enterprise

Gradle Enterprise continues to solidify its position as the de facto standard source of build and test data analytics and acceleration technologies for both Gradle and Maven builds. Spring, JetBrains (Kotlin), JUnit 5, and not surprisingly, Gradle Build Tool, are just some of the OSS projects that rely on Gradle Enterprise to improve build and test feedback cycle times and make troubleshooting more efficient by combining root cause analysis data with failure analytics. Most recently Testcontainers, OpenRewrite and Micronaut joined the movement. Gradle is proud to support these key open source projects with a free instance of Gradle Enterprise to optimize developer productivity and the developer experience. You can see the complete roster of OSS projects here and access their public instances of Gradle Enterprise to see the Build Scan™ reports and analytic dashboards in action.
