Case Study: Adobe achieves 7.5-hour build times reduced to 15 minutes with Incredibuild

Adobe cuts build time from 7.5 hours to 15 minutes with Incredibuild

Adobe, a global software company, faced a challenge with unacceptably slow build times for its large, monolithic software projects. These compilations, which could take hours on a single desktop, were damaging productivity and efficiency for its development teams across the globe. The company sought a solution to mitigate these slow builds and centralize its environment without investing in additional hardware.

Adobe implemented Incredibuild’s High Performance Compiling (HPC) solution, creating centralized, self-service build clusters for its developers. This provided flexibility to scale resources on demand and offered tight integration with existing Microsoft products. As a result, build times were drastically reduced; one example shrank from 7.5 hours to 15 minutes. Incredibuild’s solution provided a high return on investment by saving developer time and significantly reducing capital expenditure on hardware.
