Glean: Data about Code • Simon Marlow • YOW! 2022

This presentation was recorded at YOW! 2022. #GOTOcon #YOW https://yowcon.com Simon Marlow - Software Engineer at Meta RESOURCES https://twitter.com/simonmar https://www.linkedin.com/in/simonmarlow ABSTRACT What if accurate semantic information about your code was available through a rich query language that produced results in milliseconds? And what if that worked at #largescale, so that you had information not just about the files you're working on, but the entire stack in which your code lives? You could use that to build IDE integration, code search and browsing tools, code analysis tools, as well as any ad-hoc tooling or infrastructure that needs accurate semantic information about code. At #Meta we're building #Glean, an open-source system for storing and querying information about #CodeAtScale. Glean doesn't specify what information you can store, it provides an efficient system for storing arbitrary strongly-typed data, and the tools for working with it. Glean comes with indexers for several languages. In this talk I'll take a tour through what Glean is and what it can offer.
