Hi platform engineering fellows! 👋 🕵️‍♀️ Are you about to start the Developer Experience Initiative in your organization and don't know where to begin? 👨‍💻 Maybe you've already started but you struggle to keep sufficient response rates to your surveys or to find best metrics? ➡️I am working on a project to help with collecting developer experience data from developers and putting it in context to better understand the state of developer experience and development bottlenecks. You can get short demo of the project 🍿 and sample starting-point DevEx survey with simple guide for result analysis 🤓 here: https://studiodevx.com/

Hey Guys, do you have dynamic configuration in your project? How is it designed?

Hey folks, How do you determine, the capabilities for an internal developer portal required, prioritise the work and measure success inside your organisation?

We're hosting an event in Palo Alto if anyone is in the Bay Area and wants to join: https://lu.ma/devx-palo-alto We'll have a panel discussion with leaders from Vercel, Amplitude, and LaunchDarkly (along with food and drinks!). RSVP 👇

📈 Today, we have more than 1000 repositories developed by 300+ engineers across 5 locations. Our CI/CD system efficiently handles approximately 15,000 monthly deployments. Additionally, our developer productivity team (13 DevOps engineers), has implemented an in-house solution that provides each engineer with a cloud development environment, supplying over 300 on-demand sandboxes 🤘 In response to these numbers, we provide various tools to enhance the developer efficiency of our product development teams 🧑‍💻 🧵 In the thread, you’ll find brief descriptions of 12 developer productivity tools (one is also mentioned in The Pragmatic Engineer blog among Uber and Slack solutions), and I’d love to know which ones caught your attention. Your feedback will guide me in prioritizing a more comprehensive article, where I (or one of my colleagues) will provide more insights into the problem statement, potential solutions, and the results we’ve achieved 👌 📣 Additionally, I’m eager to learn about any developer productivity tools invented within your company. Even a single sentence about an internal tool could inspire others in the industry. Let’s exchange ideas and see where our collaboration leads us! 👀

Does anyone have any recommended reading they’d have for a senior engineer transitioning into product management/tech leading, especially with regard to setting a roadmap for a newly creating DevEx team? I’ve got a big list from googling around already, but would love any suggestions that give extra weight vs just google’s algorithm 😅 Team Context: Our team has shifted from being the company’s devops / SRE / infra team to DevEx over the past ~3-4 quarters, and as we’ve shifted more of our old toil to being self-serviceable we’ve struggled figuring out developer productivity / experience initiatives to prioritize with our newly found time. We just did a proof of concept with DX and will be doing a full roll out, which has certainly helped, but still find ourselves struggling to put together our quarterly plans, much less a long term roadmap. Personal Context: I’ve been pushing our team to be more customer-focused and reading through articles I’ve found through this Slack group, and think I might be interested in pivoting towards product management. I told my manager about this, and we decided on having me help take on product management-esque work with him for our team. We tentatively agreed on a big milestone for this being setting Q4 plans within ~7 weeks, and will be meeting again tomorrow to set up smaller milestones we can look towards along the way. I know there’s a ton to learn within product management, hoping there’s some small subset of concepts I can grasp onto in this short period to avoid making every novice mistake along the way 😛
