Case Study: Workiva reduces large-scale code change time by 80% with Sourcegraph Batch Changes

Workiva reduces the time it takes to make large-scale code changes by 80%

Workiva, a company whose Client Platform team maintains shared frameworks and libraries for the rest of the business, needed a better way to propagate library and dependency updates across 70+ repositories. Their internal automation tool required ongoing maintenance, lacked end-to-end visibility, and made large-scale changes time-consuming and prone to tech debt.

To solve this, Workiva adopted Sourcegraph Batch Changes to automate broad updates such as React version bumps, Kubernetes API updates, CDN migrations, Dart syntax changes, and browser compatibility tests. With Sourcegraph, Workiva cut the time required for large-scale code changes by 80%, while also reducing errors, improving confidence, and freeing the team from maintaining an internal tool.
