Case Study: Shopify boosts developer productivity with Graphite

Shopify boosts PR throughput 33% with Graphite

Shopify faced a challenge in maintaining developer velocity after consolidating its code into a single monolithic repository. To address the growing complexity, the Developer Infrastructure team sought a solution and turned to the vendor Graphite and its stacked pull request workflow.

By implementing Graphite's solution, Shopify enabled its engineers to break large changes into small, reviewable chunks. This resulted in higher-quality, faster reviews and a 33% increase in pull requests shipped per developer. The vendor Graphite helped transform code review into a building block of their engineering culture, with 22% of all merged PRs now being part of a stack.
