The platform that  tripled velocity at Uber now  triples velocity for anyone

Our Story

Founded by former Uber engineers Debo Ray and Rob Fletcher, DevZero emerged from a vision to revolutionize engineering efficiency. At Uber, Debo worked on pioneering infrastructure projects, grappling with the challenges of microservices at scale. This experience highlighted the critical need for streamlined engineering workflows to enhance velocity, reliability, and efficiency.

"Faced with the slow pace of software development, our team innovated to overcome operational hurdles. We transformed the engineering process by refining CI test runs, adopting a monorepo-pattern, optimizing code merging, container builds, and deployment processes. Our focus was on creating a seamless, efficient workflow, enabling engineers to select and deploy databases effortlessly and manage multiple tenancy-aware environments."

"Our breakthrough came with the development of specialized tooling. We introduced Local Developer Analytics (LDA) to pinpoint bottlenecks, enhanced IDE performance, and created Cerberus and Bits for efficient service interaction and integration testing. The culmination of our efforts was Devpod, a remote development environment seamlessly integrating with local IDEs."

The impact was profound: doubling PRs per developer per week, slashing build times by over 70%, and reducing large code deployment to under 15 minutes. Our innovations not only accelerated development but also significantly boosted team morale, as reflected in our green NPS/CSAT scores - a first in Uber's history.

Recognizing the scarcity of such resources in the market, Debo Ray and Rob Fletcher founded DevZero. Our mission is to empower engineering teams everywhere with the tools that transformed our work at Uber, driving unparalleled efficiency and velocity in software development.
