sbt: Beyond the Build Tool
summary
Tapjoy runs sbt across 60 repositories, authors 13 internal sbt plugins and open sources 5, and uses sbt tasks to do more than build: push-button release (version bump, test, tag, publish), build and push Docker images, upload artifacts to HDFS, schedule Oozie/YARN jobs, and start/scale services on Marathon. They use plugins like sbt-assembly, sbt-release, sbt-docker-compose and Giter8 templates to standardize projects and report measurable productivity and smaller plugin codebases.
