Introducing Nova, our internal platform for coding agents

What this post added

This post introduces Nova, Dropbox's internal platform for running coding agents. It details the platform's architecture, design choices (platform approach over single-purpose solutions), and its integration with Dropbox's development environment (monorepo, Bazel). It highlights key use cases like CI failure remediation, flaky test remediation (integrating with Athena), and migrations/dependency upgrades (integrating with RenovateBot). The post also discusses the importance of validation, context handling, and the evolution of agent capabilities beyond simple code generation.
