33. Integrating Sourcegraph to You & Your Team’s Workflow >>> • What’s the best way to run a trial of Sourcegraph in my team/org? ◦ Running a Sourcegraph trial/POC • How can I best communicate the value of code search to developers who’ve not used it before? ◦ See how developers at Uber, Lyft, Yelp depend on Sourcegraph every day
34. Integrating Sourcegraph to You & Your Team’s Workflow >>> • Sign up on Sourcegraph Cloud (sourcegraph.com) ◦ Team Support (early access) on Sourcegraph Cloud coming in December, 2021
35. • Hiring more engineers is good, leveraging better developer tools is great. • Make it a priority to bring the best developer tools to your organization. Developer Wisdom >>>
36. • Search over 2.1M open source & public repositories across GitHub & Gitlab. • Search private code across several repositories • Precise code intelligence • Automation of large scale code changes via Batch changes. • Code monitoring • Code insights (still in beta) #1. Recap: Why you need to Optimize Developer Workflow with Sourcegraph >>>
37. #2. Recap: Why you need to Optimize Developer Workflow with Sourcegraph >>> • Developer velocity - Help all your developers to move fast. With code intelligence & great search, code discovery is a walk in the park. • Onboarding new developers to a codebase - The faster developers can understand your massive codebase, the better. • Codebase refactors (batch changes) - as codebase grows, you need to refactor the codebase more intelligently.
