Phabricator

Phabricator is the comprehensive development platform originally built by Facebook and trusted by companies like Uber, Dropbox, and Wikimedia to unify code review, project management, and team collaboration in a single powerful suite. As the platform that scaled Facebook’s engineering from dozens to thousands of developers, it provides battle-tested tools that handle the complexity of modern software development while maintaining simplicity and performance.

What makes Phabricator exceptional is its deep integration between code review, task tracking, and documentation, creating a seamless workflow where every commit links to tasks, every review has context, and every decision is documented. Unlike pieced-together toolchains, it provides a cohesive environment where developers can move from idea to deployment without switching contexts or losing information.

Engineering teams choose Phabricator because it delivers enterprise-grade development infrastructure that can be self-hosted for complete control and customization. From startups to tech giants, it provides the integrated foundation that serious software development demands.
