“We were always a believer in open source, and Cesium was our first open source project as a company. We wanted to be where everyone else was because open source lives or dies by its community."

"Transparency helps us vet the best ideas no matter where they come from. GitHub helps us scale that."

"Instead of having to open a browser, search for something in Stack Overflow or Confluence, and then go back to your code editor and figure out how to incorporate what you learned, you can just generate what you need with GitHub Copilot. The time it saves by keeping us focused …

“By standardizing on GitHub our developers can work the way they want to while still making it easy to share and discover each other’s code.”

“Now GitHub does that heavy lifting, and we leverage GitHub APIs to create products that enable our developers to build faster, smarter, and safer. Developers have fewer tools to juggle, which reduces their cognitive load and lets them focus on innovating.”

“What GitHub enables us to do is create a ‘parts warehouse’ where developers can find useful code that can be quickly assembled into new solutions.”

“It gives us the best chance to stay as secure as possible when writing software.”

“Some of the projects in IT end up being more difficult than expected. But the migration to GitHub was simple. It was easy to do a proof-of-concept with GitHub to make sure it fit our needs. And it was easy to move our code as well.”

“If someone changes a Terraform plan, that goes through the CI/CD pipeline and triggers a GitHub Action that triggers an approval process, just like a pull request for some application code."

“We’re not just consuming, but also actively contributing back to the open source communities that we come from.”

“We’re getting developers from across the industry, different perspectives, diverse perspectives. We love to see the growth of developers. It’s social, and we’re a social company.”

“It feels like it’s been a community from the start and that’s the way Meta is as well.”

“We want to make sure that developers using the projects are getting the resources, documentation, and tutorials that they need to actually do the work successfully.”

“We want to make sure that people at Meta who are responsible for maintaining these projects can see the data and information they need to keep projects going.”

“We were able to build a tool that integrates with the API, and it’s now used by a majority of developers in PyTorch when they’re developing these multi-step changes on the project.”
