The Language Tools team enables ~1,500 Datadog developers to build, test, and package millions of lines of Go, Python, Java, Rust, and TypeScript in our backend monorepo. Our success is measured by their productivity and satisfaction. They use the tools that we develop and support several times a day, in both development and CI environments. We use the Bazel open source build system as a foundation. The team is growing rapidly, both with Datadog and as we absorb other repositories into the monorepo.
