Case Study: Resultados Digitais achieves 26% more pull requests merged and 45% faster cycle time with Code Climate

Resultados Digitais used data to boost the efficiency of their scaling team.

Resultados Digitais, a 500+ employee marketing automation company, faced a common scaling problem: as their engineering organization grew, leadership felt productivity was not keeping pace. Platform Engineering Manager Rodrigo Miguel turned to Code Climate’s Velocity product to get objective, pull request–based metrics (pull requests merged, number of reviews, time to review, revert count) that could reveal where bottlenecks and process issues lived.

Using Code Climate Velocity insights, the team implemented concrete process changes—most notably a goal to keep pull requests under 400 lines, biweekly Velocity reviews by team leads, and daily emails that flag PRs outside targets. Within three months Resultados Digitais saw measurable impact: a 26% increase in pull requests merged, a 45% decrease in cycle time, and a 42% decrease in reverts, demonstrating how Code Climate’s data-driven approach scaled engineering efficiency.
