This Year in Uber’s AI-Driven Developer Productivity Revolution

Across all layers of the Software Development Life Cycle, Uber is investing in AI solutions to help developers “Ship Quality Faster”. Uber has formed a dedicated Developer Platform AI effort that spans many teams to deliver on that mantra. Adam and Ty will share the latest developments in Uber’s AI-driven developer productivity revolution.

We’ll share the latest in the coding assistant landscape, including customizations to make them “monorepo aware”, how we’re thinking about large-scale code migrations with agentic systems, and how the test pyramid is being reshaped bottom-up with AI-powered code generation and top-down with probabilistic agents.

You’ll leave with actionable strategies for implementing AI solutions in your own organization and a list of ideas for achieving rapid, high-impact results.
