Building at Uber Scale

Explore techniques for building and maintaining large-scale Android projects in this conference talk from Devoxx. Learn how Uber overcomes challenges related to rapidly growing code size, expanding build times, and dissemination of configuration and coding practices. Discover improvements made to traditional tools like lint and checkstyle, and how common anti-patterns are translated into codified rules enforced at compile time. Gain insights into scaling knowledge and builds, enforcing patterns, and the impact of small defects on large systems. Understand the importance of speed in scaling build systems, and learn about solutions like Okbuck for achieving performance at scale. Delve into static analysis, computer code review, and the use of tools like checkstyle to maintain code quality in large Android projects.
