Case Study: Arkestro boosts developer efficiency and cuts costs with Signadot

Arkestro saves $1M+ a year in developer bandwidth with Signadot

Arkestro, a company that provides predictive procurement software, faced significant bottlenecks in testing code changes at scale. Their transition to continuous development led to regressions after merging, as they lacked production-like environments for pre-merge testing. Creating these environments manually was too expensive and time-consuming, risking product quality and disrupting developer workflows. They turned to the vendor Signadot and its platform for ephemeral sandbox environments to solve this challenge.

By implementing Signadot, Arkestro integrated automated, production-like sandboxes directly into their GitHub pull request workflow. This solution enabled developers to validate changes thoroughly before merging, catching defects earlier. The results were substantial: Arkestro saved over $1 million annually in developer bandwidth, reclaimed 5 hours per developer each week, and avoided $120,000 in implementation costs. Signadot helped them create over 2,000 sandboxes, leading to a 12.5% increase in developer efficiency and a dramatic improvement in code quality.
