Mohit Sarveiya Building Android Infra Teams at Scale @heyitsmohit
Building Android Infra Teams at Scale • Purpose & Motivations
• How to build an infra team • Best practices
What is an Android Infra Team? • Focuses on Arch,
CI and Tooling • Customers are devs.
Motivations Team Size Complexity
Greenfield Phase • Small team size • Iterate quickly •
Minimal processes
Motivations Team Size Complexity
Scaling Up • Larger team • Developer Experience • Tooling
Scaling Problems • Gradle build setup & build times
Scaling Problems Teams Monorepo
Scaling Problems Monorepo Gradle
Gradle Setup • 100+ Gradle Modules • Gradle Plugins (KAPT)
• Library Dependencies
Scenario • Upgrade Gradle Plugin
Scenario • Upgrade Gradle Plugin • Causes Out of Memory
Exception
Scenario • Upgrade Gradle Plugin • Causes Out of Memory
Exception • Effects whole team (Slows down development)
Motivations for Infra • Need to maintain Gradle setup •
Detect build regression
Scaling Problems • Gradle build setup & build times •
Architecture Fragmentation
Scaling Problems Codebase
Scaling Problems Codebase Legacy code
Arch Fragmentation • Legacy Architecture • Example - MVC/MVP •
Older design patterns
Arch Fragmentation Codebase Legacy code Feature A
Arch Fragmentation Codebase Legacy code Feature A Feature B
Motivations for Infra • Uniform app arch • Specify how
to migrate legacy arch
Building Infra Team
Team Charter • Ownership areas
Ownership Areas • Architecture • Shared Libraries • Build tools
(Gradle, Buck, Basel) • CI
Ownership Areas Team Size Complexity 100+
Ownership Areas Infra Org
Ownership Areas Infra Org CI Arch Dev Ex Build Tools
Teams
Ownership Areas Team Size Complexity 30+
Ownership Areas Infra Org Single Team (CI, Arch, Build Tools)
Teams
Challenges • Diverse skill set
CI • How to build pipelines • Jenkins or CircleCI
• Setting up automation
Challenges • Diverse skill set • Prioritizing
Ownership Areas • Architecture • Shared Libraries • Build tools
(Gradle, Buck, Basel) • CI
Team Charter • Ownership areas • Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) • Service Level Objectives
Service Level Objectives • Build times • Infra for performance
metrics • Infra for network metrics
Service Level Objectives Codebase Feature A Feature B Feature C
Scenario 9:41 • Scroll performance • Network Latency
Service Level Objectives Platform Monitoring
Team Charter • Ownership areas • Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
• Objectives and key results
Objectives & Key Results (OKRs) • Top down approach •
Bottom up approach
Objectives & Key Results (OKRs) • Determine important problems to
solve • Prioritize
Team Surveys • Challenges • Build times • Architecture •
Testing
Building Roadmap Team survey OKRs & Priotrize projects Execute
Examples OKRs • Improve local build times by 10% •
Reduce onboarding to 10th commit • Refactor navigation
Team Charter • Ownership areas • Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
• Objectives and key results
Best Practices
Best practices • Feedback
Acquisitions Feature Teams Infra Team Continous Feedback
Acquisitions Improvement POC Details Serialization Performance Feature Team A Feature
Team B
Planning Review acquisitions Priortrize/Plan Setup Roadmap
Bi-Weekly Updates Feature Teams Infra Team Digests
Bi-Weekly Digests • Project Status • Improvements • Infra Asistance
Example • Improved Gradle build times by 10% • Created
tools to improve dev workflow • Assisted in project
Best practices • Feedback • Expectations
OKRs • Not every OKR can have a metric
