The challenge

Fundrise's continuous-integration costs were climbing as its test workload grew, and manually merging code required engineers to manage test coverage and merge timing before changes could ship.

The solution

After evaluating Mergify against competitors, Fundrise adopted Mergify and used it to reduce redundant test runs across its pull requests.

“We want to keep engineers engineering. So we tested Mergify and some competitors -- and very much prefer Mergify.”
