Case Study: Brave achieves 8x faster Chromium builds with EngFlow Remote Execution

Brave speeds Chromium builds 8x with EngFlow

Brave, a browser company, faced slow and inefficient build processes for its Chromium-based browser, which took hours and hindered developer productivity. Their local builds were also non-reproducible and required expensive hardware. To address this, Brave implemented EngFlow's Remote Execution service.

EngFlow's solution distributed builds across a large remote cluster, cross-compiling for different platforms. This resulted in builds that were 8x faster, reducing times from two hours to under 15 minutes. The solution provided significant hardware cost savings by lessening the requirements for individual developer machines and created a reproducible, shared build environment for all developers.
