Case Study: Plane speeds up code reviews with CodeRabbit

How CodeRabbit helped Plane get their release schedule back on track

Plane, an open-core project management tool, faced a significant bottleneck as its 12-person engineering team struggled with the time-consuming and inefficient process of manual code reviews. The high volume of pull requests, including those from open-source contributors, resulted in slow merge cycles, delayed feature releases, and bugs slipping into production. This manual process was hindering their development velocity and increasing technical debt.

To address this, Plane implemented the AI-powered code review platform CodeRabbit. The solution provided instant, context-aware summaries of pull requests and flagged bugs and vulnerabilities early in the process. As a result, CodeRabbit helped Plane cut code review time by 50%, catch over 90% of all bugs before they reached production, and achieve merge cycles that were four times faster. This eliminated the review bottleneck, boosted developer productivity, and got the team's release schedule back on track.
