Piranha: Automated Code Deletion @ Uber
Murali Krishna Ramanathan
Staff Software Engineer
Uber
1. I would like to talk about my experiences with building Piranha (http://github.com/uber/piranha) and deploying it at Uber to delete > 350KLoC mobile code related to stale feature flags.
2. We have Piranha available for four languages (Java, Swift, ObjC, JS) and are expanding it for Kotlin and Go.
3. I will also deep dive into how we have been able to leverage this infrastructure for supporting code migrations also.
