Case Study: Viasat achieves 24x faster Chromium builds with EngFlow

ViaSat cuts Chromium build time from 24 hours to 1 hour with EngFlow

ViaSat, a leading global satellite communications company, faced a major challenge with its Chromium builds, which were extremely slow and took up to 24 hours to complete. This severely impacted developer productivity and hampered the company's ability to quickly implement critical monthly security patches. To address this, ViaSat turned to EngFlow and its Remote Execution service.

EngFlow implemented a solution that dramatically accelerated ViaSat's build and test processes without requiring a re-engineering of their existing Chromium environment. The result was a 24x improvement, reducing build times from 24 hours down to just one hour. This massive performance gain provided immediate value, allowing developers to focus more time on other key projects like their new Rebel browser and significantly decreasing security release times.
