About the Company and Team

Yandex has Sandbox — a cluster for running arbitrary automation tasks, which is also the foundation for building CI and preparing releases in the company. We have our own fleet of hundreds of thousands of CPU cores, and we process over two and a half million tasks per day. We must ensure launches on different OS and environments and meet high availability requirements under heavy load.
