Summary

A survey titled "State of Internal Tools Survey" seeks to gather insights into the use and management of internal tooling within companies, highlighting the importance of such tools for various departments like customer support, operations, marketing, and engineering. Despite their critical role, internal tools often require significant time and resources to build and maintain, raising questions about how leading companies approach them, the appropriate investment of engineering time, and the decision to build versus buy. The survey, which targets developers at companies with at least 10 employees, aims to enhance understanding by collecting data through profiles, interviews, and a series of surveys, with the first consisting of 20 questions. Participants are incentivized with a chance to win one of four $250 Amazon gift cards, and the survey results will be shared with participants.
