Case Study: Cerence achieves 20x faster build times with Incredibuild

Cerence reduces build times by 20x with Incredibuild

Cerence, a global industry leader in creating conversational-AI powered assistants for the mobility world, faced significant bottlenecks due to long and complex build times. Their developers were frustrated as even small code changes, like updating headers, required 10 to 15 minutes for a fresh build, leading to productivity loss from constant context switching. To accelerate iteration frequency, Cerence turned to Incredibuild for its build acceleration solution.

By integrating Incredibuild into its Windows-based developer studio, Cerence achieved a dramatic reduction in build times. The solution was easy to integrate and slashed the time to rebuild components from 10-15 minutes down to approximately 30 seconds. This 20x improvement allowed developers to make changes on the go, enabling faster iterations and more fine-tuning without adding significant development time.
