Dropbox introduces Nova, an internal platform for running AI coding agents at scale. * Craig Risi Software Architect | Game Designer| Writer | Speaker Write for InfoQ. Feed your curiosity. Help 550k+ global senior developers each month stay ahead. Get in touch Dropbox has unveiled Nova, an internal platform designed to orchestrate and operationalize AI coding agents across the company's engineering workflows. Rather than treating AI assistants as standalone coding tools, Nova provides a centralized execution layer that allows agents to operate within Dropbox's monorepo, CI systems, observability tooling, and infrastructure workflows, enabling AI systems to participate in everything from flaky test remediation to dependency migrations and production incident investigation. According to Dropbox, the platform was created in response to a growing mismatch between the capabilities of off-the-shelf coding agents and the realities of enterprise-scale software engineering. While many AI coding tools excel at generating code snippets locally, Dropbox engineers needed systems that could operate safely inside a highly customized environment built around Bazel, monorepo validation pipelines, and internal operational tooling. Nova addresses this by running coding agents inside isolated cloud-based sessions connected directly to Dropbox's engineering infrastructure, where proposed...
