Case Study: Sharkmob achieves 3-4 minute build times with Incredibuild

Sharkmob cuts build times from 60 minutes to 3 minutes with Incredibuild

Sharkmob, a AAA game studio owned by Tencent, faced a challenge where their long build times of up to an hour were slowing developer productivity and hindering frequent updates for their multiplayer games. Their global team of 250 developers needed a fast, reliable, and out-of-the-box solution to accelerate compute-heavy processes like builds and shader compilations.

By implementing Incredibuild's build acceleration and Build Cache services, Sharkmob dramatically accelerated their CI pipelines and development environment. This allowed them to achieve true build-per-commit development. The measurable impact was a reduction in build times from 30-60 minutes down to roughly 3-4 minutes per build, significantly boosting iteration speed and developer experience.
