Case Study: Mercado Libre achieves faster, more secure development with GitHub

Mercado Libre frees developers' minds to focus on their mission with GitHub

Mercado Libre, the largest e-commerce and digital payments ecosystem in Latin America, needed a way to help more than 10,000 developers stay focused on innovation while handling collaboration, deployment, and security challenges at scale. The company standardized on GitHub Enterprise and later expanded to GitHub Copilot and GitHub Advanced Security to support its fast-moving development teams.

With GitHub, Mercado Libre improved collaboration, sped up release cycles, and strengthened security across its codebase. The company says its teams merge and deploy about 100,000 pull requests per day, and GitHub Copilot has cut time to find the right code in half for one executive while boosting developer satisfaction and productivity. GitHub Advanced Security also helps Mercado Libre catch issues early before they reach production.
