We have a weekly briefing with all the teams to discuss the roadmap and share important updates that are better communicated in person. Make sure you’ve received the calendar invite.

​
Daily Communication Channels

We use WhatsApp groups and individual chats for day-to-day communications:
  • Group messages (e.g., General, Engineering, and potentially Operations)
  • Direct messages for one-to-one communication

​
Long-Form Knowledge

We use internal Docs for:
  • Long-form entries
  • Playbooks
  • Common knowledge and policies
We use GitLab for:
  • Milestone tracking across projects
  • Task assignment via issues
  • Reporting bugs and discussing technical aspects of the codebase
  • Requesting new feature implementations
⚠️ Warning: Never share security tokens, customer PII (Personally Identifiable Information), or other sensitive information in GitLab.

​
What to Use and When

  • Group message — for things only relevant for today
    Example: “Hey, xxxx is breaking for me, can someone help?”
  • GitLab Issues — for discussions relevant over a few days or weeks
    Example: RFCs, bug reports, meeting notes
    Note: See thread etiquette below.
  • Direct message — for messages intended for a single person
    Example: “Hey, can you add me to service xxx?”
  • Docs — for evergreen content useful to everyone, including future hires
    Example: This page.
