Case Study: Microsoft accelerates CI builds and tests with Incredibuild

Microsoft cuts rebuild time from 10–15 minutes to 30 seconds with Incredibuild

Microsoft faced challenges with slow CI/CD pipelines, where builds and tests were causing significant delays and stalling software delivery. They turned to Incredibuild and its CI/CD Acceleration solution to eliminate redundant work and scale their compute power without making any code changes.

Incredibuild implemented its solution, which uses Shared Caching to guarantee instant results and distributes tasks across thousands of CPU cores. This dramatically accelerated Microsoft's pipelines, with one developer noting that rebuilds which once took 10-15 minutes were completed in about 30 seconds, representing a significant improvement in their development process.
