View company profile

EngFlow helps customers accelerate their software development and improve developer productivity. Many organizations face the challenge of long build and test cycles, especially as codebases grow in size and complexity. This can lead to decreased developer productivity, slower time-to-market for new features, and increased costs associated with inefficient resource utilization. EngFlow addresses these challenges by providing a remote execution and caching platform that significantly speeds up software builds and tests. Created by the core engineers behind Bazel, Google's open-source build system, EngFlow's solutions are designed to keep engineers in their creative flow by minimizing interruptions caused by slow builds.

EngFlow's platform allows development teams to distribute their builds and tests across a cluster of machines, and then remotely cache the results. This parallelization and caching dramatically reduces build times, in some cases by a factor of 10 or more. Customers, ranging from startups to Fortune 500 companies, leverage EngFlow to make their builds and tests faster, make build results more accessible for analysis and debugging, and improve their core Bazel implementations. The platform is compatible with various build systems, including Bazel, CMake, Buck v2, AOSP, and Chromium, offering flexibility for diverse development environments. By optimizing build and test cycles, EngFlow enables engineering teams to iterate faster, release software more frequently, and ultimately deliver more value to their end-users. The company also focuses on providing observability into the build process, offering insights that help teams further optimize their workflows and cloud resource usage. EngFlow's commitment extends to providing expert support and ensuring their solutions can scale to meet the needs of both small teams and large enterprises with tens of thousands of cores.
