Case Study: Retool achieves daily deploys and 8x faster releases with Momentic

How Retool builds reliable products

Retool, a B2B SaaS company, faced a challenge in maintaining reliability and developer velocity. Their complex features, dependent on third-party platforms like GitHub and Temporal, were difficult to automate with existing tools like Cypress, leading to cumbersome scripts and a reliance on a lengthy 15-page manual QA checklist that slowed releases to once every two weeks.

By implementing Momentic, Retool's engineers could author tests by simply describing user flows in plain English, without writing complex scripts. Momentic enabled them to quickly automate their entire manual checklist. This resulted in an 8x increase in release cadence to four times per week, saving over 40 engineering hours per month.
