Automating experiments with Kotlin DSL
summary
Company automates feature launches by coding experiments as a Kotlin DSL and running them with a custom Kotlin‑script/Gradle starter that compiles, validates and applies config changes to the PMS. The system replaces a ~50‑step manual disable/enable process, already managing 11,000+ experiments, and generates JIRA comments and graphs as part of execution. It uses Kotlin DSL and Kotlin script runner with typed step classes and validation, and integrates with PMS, JIRA and monitoring graphs. It works but requires ongoing programming and maintenance.
