Elevate your craft — learn, share and collaborate on topics related to developer productivity

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.

Off-the-record hangouts

Join our off-the-record virtual meetups for honest thoughts and discussions, while also learning from peers about challenges that they've solved at their organizations. Stay up-to-date with best practices, useful tools, relevant industry news and career tips.

Upcoming events

#DX enthusiasts, join our next "Off-the-record" community event.

We are joined by Laurie Darcey and Eric Kuck from @Reddit to talk about improving mobile DevEx and the architecture changes to achieve it!
