Case Study: Figma achieves faster collaboration and stronger DevOps security with GitHub

Figma amplifies collaboration through GitHub integration

Figma, a web-based product design platform focused on real-time collaboration, faced growing challenges as its engineering teams and customer base expanded. To keep development efficient and reliable while supporting developers—who make up nearly one third of its users—Figma turned to GitHub Enterprise and GitHub’s collaboration and security tooling.

GitHub helped Figma standardize its DevOps pipeline with centralized code hosting, reviews, and pull requests, while Dependabot strengthened vulnerability management and GitHub’s APIs automated CI/CD workflows. The result was improved collaboration, stronger security, and faster long-term development through innersource practices and reusable code across teams.
