Dev Tooling Accelerator

Are your production releases slow, unreliable, bug ridden? Have you looked at improving your developer tooling experience? Fast feedback and reliable testing are crucial for modern software development, especially in the agentic era. Have us come in and see how we can improve the experience for your developers and your agents.
Rapid Improvement

Improve Your CI/CD Posture

A focused assessment and optimisation of your local developer tooling and CI/CD environment, designed to remove engineering friction, improve build performance and create a more reliable path from code to production.

Build speed

Reducing CI build time can materially increase developer feedback cycles and reduce waiting time across engineering teams.

Developer productivity

Engineering teams can lose significant time to interruptions, environment setup, build failures and other sources of developer friction.

Engineering flow

Faster, more reliable feedback loops support smaller changes and more frequent integration, reducing the cost of identifying and fixing issues.

2 Weeks
We can help improve your CI/CD posture in as little as 1 sprint.
Stability Allows Speed
Automated testing is the backbone of any reliable system. If your tests aren’t running, or you don’t have appropriate coverage, you can never make changes at speed.
Onboarding
How up-to-date are your readme’s? Are there steps missing? How quickly you can onboard a new developer to your team is a signal to how well your processes are working.

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.
