Get the latest on all things Figma.
From a teaching assistant in Mark Zuckerberg’s AI class to a roboticist turning industrial machines into lifelike creatures, this year’s Config speakers are redefining how we build and experience technology.
Behind every successful design system lies a surprising secret: numbers. Learn how tracking the right metrics can transform your design system from a helpful resource into a powerful engine for efficiency.
There’s a lot of buzz about AI agents. Robots that do more with less supervision—what could go wrong? We asked our community how this might shake up how we think about UX.
This year, we’re bringing Config to San Francisco and London. Here’s a first look at what we’re building for our community on both sides of the Atlantic.
Where do inspirational people find inspiration? Our Config speakers share their favorite talks from 2024, offering up a blueprint for crafting sessions that truly stand out.
Six Memos for the Future of Digital Creation
Great products aren’t derailed by twists and turns; they are defined by them.“Great products aren’t derailed by twists and turns; they are defined by them.”
There’s a resurgence of small, handcrafted sites challenging the current trajectory of the internet. Joining the movement is as simple as making your own.
Modern browsers have evolved beyond what most design tools can do. It’s up to us to break free from templates and tap into the web’s true creative potential.
With more apps than ever, features will only get you so far. It’s time to put resonance on the roadmap.
Large prototypes took minutes to load, and users took notice. Here’s how we overhauled our prototype player to improve load time and stability.
Engineering crits encourage a diversity of perspectives and unblock teams to pursue new ideas. Here’s how we structure and run them at Figma.
Figma files are often large and complex with endless pages, library and local components, and prototype screens. Here’s how dynamic page loading improved the slowest load times by 33%.
Our nine month journey to horizontally shard Figma’s Postgres stack, and the key to unlocking (nearly) infinite scalability.
We’ve long written core parts of our mobile rendering architecture in Skew, the custom programming language we invented to squeeze additional performance out of our playback engine. Here’s how we automatically migrated Skew to TypeScript without disrupting a single day of development.
Migrating onto Kubernetes can take years. Here’s why we decided it was worth undertaking, and how we moved a majority of our core services in less than 12 months, all while making our compute platform easier to use.
When we learned that engineers were losing hours building our C++ codebase, we jumped into investigating the root cause. Here’s how we cut build times in half and shipped a solution for scale.
Instead of asking how AI will automate our jobs, we should be focusing on what we, as engineers, uniquely do well. What problems can AI currently solve, and where is the whitespace to go beyond that?

As part of our first-ever Sustainability Week, we’re sharing an update on our climate investments—and some of the ways Figma helps other companies build green initiatives of their own.
In a time of blurred roles, new technology, and breakneck product cycles, how do we uphold craft and purpose in our work?
Clear documentation transforms abstract design principles into practical tools. Here’s how leading teams build and maintain living documentation that evolves alongside their design systems.
As AI handles specialized tasks with increasing sophistication, the ability to connect dots across domains has never been more valuable.
We turned six big ideas percolating around the Figma office—written from the perspective of devs, designers, analysts, writers, PMs, card-carrying generalists—and put them on record. Here’s a look at what’s on our minds for 2025.
