I can't really compare to Meta, but I will confess that "industry standard" tooling has been very disappointing for me. Trying to get a build setup that automatically pulls in dependency changes once a week is something I'm still not entirely sure how to do in a way that everyone agrees with. Seems most tools bake that into a code commit with a lock file nowadays. But even that is amusingly recent. Years ago, you had to mirror any repository system locally and learn how to set that up. Probably getting it wrong in the process.

Mentioning splunk, I'm assuming you are using more paid industry tools. I suspect that opens things up a bit more, but realize that most of the industry doesn't use those due to prohibitive pricing. And I don't even know what the appropriate paid tool for building would be.

We seem remarkably primed to just hate whatever tooling we have at our disposal in ways that baffles me.
