Get ready to take off on a journey to explore the challenges and successes of engineering productivity at Airbnb! In the next 1-2 years, we’re facing some of our biggest challenges yet, but fear not, because we’ve got solutions and investments that engineers simply love.
We’re big on customer satisfaction, and the DevX surveys help us validate our assumptions. Remote development and remote IDE is all the rage, with JetBrains’ Gateway being the number one voted improvement. And when it comes to measuring holistic dev productivity, we rely on the industry-standard DORA metrics for helpful high-level signals.
So buckle up and join us for an exciting keynote on how we make engineers productive at Airbnb, complete with challenges, successes, and a dash of AI disruption!
