Gearset’s Code Reviews helps Deliveroo onboard more restaurants, faster
Deliveroo operates in more than 500 cities worldwide and is becoming one of the fastest-growing companies in Europe. Salesforce is a crucial part of Deliveroo’s systems as it’s used to drive the onboarding of more than 1,000 new restaurants every month.
Challenge
Deliveroo is a technology company with hundreds of software engineers working across their infrastructure.
Their Salesforce technical team employs a mix of onshore and offshore developers, with different backgrounds and experience. Due to the very aggressive growth and pace of development, Deliveroo was struggling to maintain consistent, high-quality standards across their Salesforce development, without giving up agility.
Deliveroo was looking for a way to automate regular code validation, making sure their Salesforce implementation is robust, secure and follows best practices, in order to free up precious developer time without compromising on quality.
Solution
Deliveroo chose Code Reviews to maintain world-class quality standards for their Salesforce implementation. Developers use a simple Git workflow for every new feature they work on, opening pull requests as soon as new developments are ready for review.
A large portion of the code validation is now taken care of automatically, the team can focus on value-creating tasks to the business, while Code Reviews makes sure every new product increment is high quality and secure.
Code Reviews collects valuable insights on frequent mistakes that the IT management at Deliveroo can now use to allocate training resources effectively, based on actual needs.
Code Reviews allows us to automate repetitive checks ensuring that technical best practices are always followed. Our technical code reviews are now quicker and more focused on architectural aspects.
