Case Study: Tilt cleans up 7 years of tech debt with Tembo

Tilt cleans up 7 years of tech debt with Tembo

Tilt, an engineering team, faced the common challenge of having to perform large-scale, repetitive code migrations and dependency upgrades that were essential but incredibly time-consuming. This work had been deferred for quarters, leaving them with seven years of accumulated technical debt. They partnered with Tembo to automate this process using its agents.

Tembo's solution involved defining a single approved migration pattern. Its agents then automatically applied this pattern across Tilt's entire codebase, generating approximately 120 individual pull requests. Each PR was tested and verified, making them ready for human review. The result was that Tembo enabled Tilt to efficiently clear seven years of tech debt while the engineering team could remain focused on product work.
