Next DevProdEng Lowdown: The JetBrains Kotlin Compiler Team’s Developer Productivity Wins

 
In this episode, DevProdEng Lowdown chats with Nikolay Krasko, the Infrastructure team lead for the Kotlin Compiler OSS project, to get the lowdown on their developer productivity wins. Nikolay will discuss wins that stemmed from the collaborative effort with Gradle to onboard the Kotlin Compiler OSS project to the Develocity platform. He will then share how this led to achieving their goals of improving build/test times using build caching and providing insights/telemetry to their build/test process.
