Case Study: Semgrep speeds up code reviews and engineering throughput with Graphite

Semgrep reduces PR size by 17% with Graphite

Semgrep, an AI-assisted AppSec platform, faced challenges with slow and complicated code reviews due to large pull requests. Their engineers needed a faster path to merge code without sacrificing quality or security. They turned to the vendor Graphite to implement a solution using its stacked PR workflow.

Graphite's solution automated the process of breaking down large changes into a series of smaller, dependent pull requests. This resulted in a 17% reduction in median PR size, a 36% increase in PRs shipped per engineer, and a 65% increase in code shipped per engineer. These metrics reflect a major boost in development velocity and review efficiency for Semgrep.
