Although the individual tools available to software teams have improved over time, developers still operate at the assembly level when writing cloud applications. A lot of care goes into the equivalent of memory management, register scheduling and I/O.
Our team spent many years at Google, where we helped build Boq, Google's internal development platform. Boq is used by a majority of Google products, including Search, Youtube, Workspace, and more.
The world inside Google in 2014 when we built Boq was similar to today's industry: many great tools. Still, each team or organization was responsible for figuring out its development and production lifecycle.
How do you manage your development stack, write comprehensive whole-system tests, and ship with confidence to production?
Boq transformed how teams built software by allowing them to focus primarily on their application code. It supported teams with most of their needs (configuration, experimentation, logging, etc).
And most importantly, it was an evolving platform that grew as Google's needs changed.
We're building the future of software development with a passionate team of engineers, designers, and innovators from around the world.
We're fortunate to be working with world-class investors and advisors who have deep understanding of how software gets built at scale.
Be part of the future where development is simple, focused, and optimized for great teams.
