Great products are built with productive development workflows and on robust production infrastructure. Platform teams in fast-moving companies have moved from crafting these manually to building them into platform products that allow teams to focus on their application. We are building Namespace: A unified development and production platform that helps teams focus on building products. Our team helped Google ship better and faster by building Boq, Google’s internal development & production platform that today powers Search, Youtube, Play and others. We’ve set ourselves to bring similar platform capabilities to ambitious teams of all sizes. The first step in our journey focuses on development and end-to-end testing: seamless local or remote production-like development environments, fast dependable continuous integration, remote builds and a natural environment to share results within a team. We then have a path to expand on that model to support robust production that just works.
