Make development faster. Make CI less painful.
With our Dev Tool Accelerator, we can look at both the local tooling experience of your development team, as well as the CI/CD processes.
Local developer tooling, whether it’s running your application on development laptops, or through controlled virtualised environments, is paramount to getting the most out of your team. Are you using the latest build tooling? Is there appropriate caching in place? Are you using containers effectively? The hidden cost of not maintaining and improving your development experience can be disastrous. We’ve seen large scale corporations not be able to build mission critical software, because they’ve not updated their local tools to compile on new Mac versions. Don’t let that be you.
CI is another space we can look into. Build times of CI are a huge frustration for developers, as is reliability. Don’t let your team wait 30 minutes for a build to run, to then have it fail due to a poorly maintained, or non-parallelisable build step. We can come in and help speed up your build processes, either in place, or by helping you migrate to a cloud-native build tool, such as Buildkite.
Developers receive feedback sooner and spend less time waiting.
Fewer flaky builds and avoidable failures.
A smoother, more consistent environment for engineering teams.
Critical tooling risks are identified and prioritised.
Clear recommendations for upgrading outdated development infrastructure.
