Developer Platform - Development Infrastructure The Development Infrastructure team provides a complete tool set for engineering squads to perform their development:

• Work management system, encouraging agile development practices and enabling cross-team dependency management;
• Full development tool suite: a source control management system, integrated with a continuous integration system; commits trigger the accompanying build and tests to build artifacts which are delivered to production repositories; policy checks enforce desired behaviors;
• Testing, Internationalization Engineering (I18N), code scanning tooling provide libraries and other tools to assist teams with their code development;
• Development reporting: squad velocity, code quality, component ownership querying are all available for teams and management to get visibility over their development practices.

These tools support all types of software development at WeWork: Web applications, mobile applications, service-based software, data processing, embedded software. The tools are backed by automated setup, documentation, and educational resources, giving developers permissions and knowledge to do their job from day 1. Every squad doing software development at WeWork uses these tools, and technology leadership has visibility over all this work at the level of granularity they wish.
