Maintaining a high-quality and uniform codebase poses significant challenges at scale, as ever-growing technical debt, inconsistencies, and weak dependency management slip in too easily. This talk delves into how a dedicated Java Platform can tackle all these challenges by providing a centralized solution!

Picnic's Java Platform approach empowers a community of 300+ developers with a robust suite of tools and shared libraries. Instead of teams having to reinvent the wheel, developers can use out-of-the-box libraries for cross-cutting concerns such as logging, observability and security. This facilitates adherence to guidelines and enforces best practices. As a result, developers can sidestep the burden of creating repetitive and mundane implementations and focus on writing actual business logic.

Learn how to harness the power of automation to achieve consistency and standardization with continuous enhancement. We will discuss our tooling setup and practices. Gain insights into an approach of providing shared libraries, centralized Maven configuration, developer tools, and CI/CD practices. Come and learn how Picnic's developers are empowered to build Java services with efficiency, quality, and confidence.
