Space Code Reviews in IntelliJ IDEA 2021.1

The Space Team recently held the first Ask Me Anything session, and we’d like to sincerely thank everyone who took part in it! We've received about 50 questions, and collected here the most interesting and frequently asked questions from this AMA session.

Today we’re announcing the general availability of Space – an all-in-one extensible team collaboration solution covering software development, project and team management, and communications.

Building an extensible platform is an essential part of our vision for Space. This manifesto should shed some light on what can be extended in Space, as well as how it can be extended.

It’s been 8 months since we first launched Space EAP. The invite-based program, which began in December 2019, has already received over 30,000 invitation requests. Today, we’re excited to announce the public launch of Space Beta. During this period, everyone is welcome to sign up for Space and register their organization without having to request a personal invite or be on a waitlist. Space continues to be absolutely free during this time.

Quality gates are a quality control technique used in collaborative software development. Though it’s quite a broad term, Space currently uses it only for merge request workflows. Simply put, a quality gate is a set of conditions that needs to be met before you can merge your commit into a protected branch (for example, the master). Let’s take a look at them in more detail. Types of quality gates

One of the best things about the Space Automation DSL is that it's based on Kotlin script. This means not only that you can use pure Kotlin inside your build scripts but also that you can reference any external .jar libraries.

During this session, JetBrains Developer Advocate Maarten Balliauw introduced many of the concepts behind Space Automation. He also discussed the automation DSL, running builds, publishing to the Space package registry, secrets and parameters, and much more! Evgeniy Koshkin, Automation Team Lead, hosted a Q&A session after Maarten’s talk.

Currently, Docker containers are the main execution environment in Space Automation. So, what can you basically run inside the containers? These are: shell scripts, arbitrary Kotlin code, and container image commands. Let's take a look at how you can do all of these.

Migrating to a new tool can be a hard decision, even more so if you have to start fresh and leave all your valuable data behind. Learn about Space new API that lets you import issues from other trackers and see how you can import issues from YouTrack right away.

Today we’re releasing Issue Boards, our own take on the board concept for issues in Space. In this post, we’ll explain how this tool can help you organize and prioritize your work, whether you adhere to Scrum, Kanban, or a mixed process.

Checklists in Space are our vision of a lightweight tool for top-down planning. You can use them to plan a milestone, a version, a feature, or an event such as a team gathering. Whatever you can brainstorm and outline for your project, you can plan thanks to our hierarchical checklists. In this post, we would like to give you a quick overview of Project Checklists. Every project contains a Checkl

We have so much to keep up with on a daily basis. We communicate with teammates, read blog posts, perform code reviews, and keep a lot of other important work items and activities in our heads. When it comes to personal productivity and task management, sometimes it’s hard to keep track of everything. It can be overwhelming and, frankly speaking, sometimes the best way to get something done is to

No matter what your role is, you likely work with documents every day. We use them for everything, from preparing notes before and after meetings to working on drafts of blog posts. Documents provide a great format for sharing knowledge, information, ideas, and decisions, so everyone in the organization can stay informed about what they need to know. When you work in an organization, it’s increasi

Now that the "high season" has come to a close and we are getting back into our routines, we’d like to tell you how Space can help you track your next well-deserved vacation.

How can we keep the information load at a manageable level, cut down on the number of times we need to jump between apps, and still get all the perks of effective team communication? In Space, we decided to make Chats the central hub for real-time information sharing. We want it to be a single inbox that will streamline group chats, direct chats, and notifications, and that will also let you react and actually *do* things right in the message stream.

With the official release fast approaching, we continue to add missing features to Space. One feature that was missing was the ability for third-party developers to extend Space. With the introduction of Space Applications, we’ve filled that gap.

Check out the 2021 Space Roadmap to discover our latest plans and priorities. Welcome to Space 2020! We would like to share our plans and priorities for the current year in order to make sure that we’re moving in the right direction and that what we have planned will bring you the features you expect and need most. We’re planning for the official release of Space 2020 to happen in Q3 or Q4 of t

Most of the data and operations available in JetBrains Space can be accessed using an HTTP API. The API documentation, as well as the HTTP API playground for your Space organization do a good job in describing the types of interactions that are possible. In this blog post, we want to look at a few details about working with the Space API more efficiently. Why would I use the Space API? Having an H
