AI-Native SDLC: Redesigning How Software Gets Built - Dhaval Moliya

This talk explores the transformation of the software development lifecycle in the context of AI, drawing on real-world experiences from Atlassian. The speaker examines five key structural shifts defining an AI-native SDLC, including the transition from writing code to specifying intent and moving from sequential phases to parallel workstreams. The session addresses challenges faced at scale, such as AI systems lacking architectural context and managing hallucinations that can affect production. It highlights engineering tools developed to tackle these issues, including semantic codebase search and a code governance engine, while providing practical insights for teams navigating this evolving landscape.
