2023 Predictions for
the Developer
Community
|
|
Gradle CEO Hans Dockter
shared some of his
predictions for the new year
in recently published
articles by InfoWorld
and the New
Stack. Here are a
few.
-
In light of the
uncertain economic
climate,
observability in the
software development
process will become
a must-have to
identify areas for
cost savings and
improved efficiency.
-
Businesses that rely
on software for
operational
efficiency and
digital services
will prioritize
developer
productivity and the
developer experience
to remain
competitive.
-
DPE will become the
predominant approach
to maximizing
productivity because
it delivers a hard
ROI based on
business outcomes
compared to
traditional
approaches focusing
on developer output.

BEST

Managing a Remote
Build Cache at Scale
with Local Build
Observability at Cash
App
|
|
To successfully manage and
maintain a remote build
cache at scale, developers
need to easily observe its
performance continuously,
especially if using the
remote cache for local
builds. This blog looks at
how the Cash App team
observes remote build cache
performance and tracks
avoidance savings per build
type. It then shares how the
custom metadata capability
in Build Scan™ was used to
get more detailed insights
into how the remote build
cache was performing for
different team members
worldwide. This gave Cash
App the data they needed to
optimize the remote cache
for the entire team. This is
just one example of how
better data observability
allows you to make better
business decisions and make
the most of your build
infrastructure
investment

DevProdEng Lowdown:
The JetBrains Kotlin
Compiler Team’s
Developer Productivity
Wins
|
|
In the latest episode of
DevProdEng Lowdown, Rooz
Mohazzabi and Justin Reock
chatted with JetBrains’
Nikolay Krasko, the
infrastructure team lead for
the Kotlin Compiler OSS
project, to get the lowdown
on their developer
productivity wins. Here are
some of the conversation
highlights:
-
To ensure
company-wide
productivity,
including developer
tasks, JetBrains has
multiple teams that
focus on
infrastructure and
support services to
deal with internal
software
issues.
-
To effectively
review code, Kraski
determined it is
important to
understand the task,
context, and code
being reviewed to
increase developer
productivity. This
information can be
found in the task's
description and can
be used to ask
questions and gain a
better
understanding.
-
Gradle Enterprise
Build Scan™ is a
useful tool for
understanding
dependencies and
optimizing
performance. This is
a preferred option
to manually collect
dependency
information from
logs.
