Case Study: Pulley speeds up PR reviews and ephemeral environments with webapp.io

Pulley cuts PR environment spin-up from 10 minutes to 2–3 minutes with webapp.io

Pulley, a cap table management platform for startups, faced significant challenges with its in-house system for creating ephemeral environments for pull requests. Their custom-built solution on Google Cloud Platform was bug-prone, confusing for developers, slow to spin up, and costly at approximately $2,500 per month. This inefficient workflow was a major time sink and hindered their priority of having a smooth process for merging PRs.

By implementing webapp.io, Pulley replaced its in-house system with streamlined ephemeral environments. The webapp.io solution drastically improved their workflow, reducing environment spin-up time from 10 minutes to just 2-3 minutes and providing substantial cost savings compared to their previous expensive infrastructure. The result was a more efficient PR review process, easier QA collaboration, and the ability for Pulley's engineers to focus on building their core product.
