Speed is a moat. Yes it is. Developer teams want to move fast with their change and deploy them on production without breaking things. The problematic part is the "without breaking things" part.

Code reviews - huge bottleneck:

Often times, developer teams have a code review process that lets others in the team peer review their code or have a senior engineer review before it is approved for merge. Goal is to identify errors that will otherwise be catastrophic when it hits production. This ends up being a huge bottleneck and here is why.

  1. It takes longer for others in the team to to pick up the PR for review.

  2. If the PR is long, it takes longer for reviewers to understand the changes in full before leaving first comments.

  3. And there is often multiple back and forth conversation between author and reviewer before agreeing on a common ground for merge. Effectively repeating #1 and #2 in cycles.

Dev teams tackle this by discouraging engineers from raising long PRs. It addresses #2 to some extent. Yet #1 and #3 is unsolved since there is less bandwidth for seniors in most teams to attend to reviews on time.

Each review aims to find these issues

  1. Logic issues

  2. Security issues

  3. Performance issues

  4. Dirty code / code smell

  5. Unconventional code patterns

The longer the PR, the longer it takes and lossy it get to find these issues.

Wasted senior talent:

Senior IC engineers time and talent is wasted in code reviews. Other engineers see their code waiting in PR for long and get demotivated from contributing faster. Business gets impacted with slow releases and ultimately impacts their bottom line. No one wins here!

What if AI steps in and reviews each file and line changed to detect all the above issues. And what if it does it simultaneously across multiple PRs across several repos in your team, almost instantly.

AI Code reviews:

We are releasing a beta version of AI code reviews today in LocalOps to let code reviews be a blissful process in your team instead of being a necessary bottleneck.

You can turn on AI code reviews when you create a new service within LocalOps. Just flip this switch and our AI will start listening on all your pull requests. We plan to expand this with a separate settings section so that you can enable this as a stand alone tool for your team.

When your team creates new PRs or pushes new commits to their existing PRs, a detailed review will be triggered to scan through all changes and add comments on the correct file and line number.


Save >50% of dev time:

Your team can add this as a check in Github so that merges don't happen until all comments are resolved. Seniors within the team can attend to the review process after AI is done with reviews and all the back & forth. So, we fix #1 - time to attend, #2 - time to review and #3 - back & forths, all at once here by offloading all work to AI, saving enormous amount of time (>50% if not more) for the devs while shipping stuff.

We use LLMs underneath to do this for you. If your team needs this today, please get in touch with me at [email protected] and we can make this work very well in your team.

Even if you’re flying solo, you can use this to self analyze your code before merging the PR.

Speed is a moat and we want all growing product teams to get it. And that is why:

  1. We released Pull request previews last week to enable devs and QAs to test changes faster in isolated ephemeral environments without waiting their turn for one of their shared staging environments.

  2. We released Automatic deployments to let your devs deploy changes to cloud, at the same speed they push code to Github, without DevOps bottleneck.

  3. And now we have released AI code reviews to make the last bottleneck of the release process go away.

Your team can now push code at warp speed.
