Developer Productivity On a Budget
summary
Automated crash triage queries BigQuery every 30–45 minutes, parses stack traces, calls OpenAI for suggested fixes, and files Jira tickets to the correct board while notifying teams in Slack; this cuts manual firefighting. Gradle convention plugins replace duplicated build blocks across ~160 modules, removing ~1,500 lines and enabling unit tests for build logic. CI migration to CircleCI plus remote build cache on AWS cuts PR checks from ~30 minutes to ~4; rollout uses fastlane, Zapier and Talio and enforces spotless + ktlint with a note about configuration cache incompatibility.
