Who we are

The Hangar is a community of senior devops and senior software engineers focused on developer experience. This is a space where vetted experienced professionals can exchange ideas, share hard-earned wisdom, troubleshoot issues, and ultimately help each other in their projects and careers.

We invite developers who work in DX and platform teams at their respective companies, or who are interested in developer productivity.

Hangar DX Podcasts

In each episode, we dive deep with engineering leaders and tooling experts to uncover practical insights about building better developer experiences. From local environment setups to deployment pipelines, we're on a mission to help teams work smarter, ship faster, and code happier.
