Case Study: Scaling and solving problems with continuous development
Key results
The challenge
At Productboard, engineers were waiting 4 to 5 hours to merge their changes, with roughly 25 minutes of checks per pull request and a hard daily limit on the number of commits they could merge. Their goal was to merge around 150 pull requests a day.
The solution
Productboard adopted Mergify's merge queue to automate and coordinate merges, removing the manual bottleneck that limited how many pull requests they could land each day.
“Mergify was the best fit at this point. It wasn't very complicated, and it solved the needs. It saved a couple of hours per engineer per month, a bunch of frustration and we resolved or bottleneck with the merge queue.”

The results, in context
After adopting Mergify, Productboard could merge any pull request securely in about 45 minutes, down from 4 to 5 hours, and reported saving a couple of hours per engineer per month. Figures are quoted from Mergify's published Productboard story dated June 6, 2022.
