Case Study: Electronic Theatre Controls cuts build times by 75% with Incredibuild

Electronic Theatre Controls cuts build times from 60 minutes to 15 with Incredibuild

Electronic Theatre Controls, Inc (ETC), a global manufacturer of programmable lighting and rigging systems, faced a significant challenge when expanding its product line to Linux. Their software builds were taking up to four hours, creating major bottlenecks for their R&D team and hindering development on their new Hog series. To accelerate these builds, ETC turned to the vendor Incredibuild for its distributed compilation solution.

By implementing Incredibuild, ETC was able to parallelize its build processes, drastically cutting compilation times. The solution provided critical visibility into the build pipeline, allowing developers to identify and optimize each step. As a result, Incredibuild helped ETC reduce its build times from four hours down to just one hour, saving developers nearly 45 minutes per build and enabling them to focus on innovation rather than waiting for compilations to finish.
