Overview

Trunk.io provides a software development platform that helps teams manage code repositories and merge changes. It organizes code changes into merge queues and uses parallel merge queues so several changes can be merged at the same time, speeding up the development workflow without lowering code quality. The product is delivered as a subscription-based service, typical of software-as-a-service companies. Compared to competitors, Trunk.io focuses on parallel merges to reduce bottlenecks in code integration, making it easier and faster for in-house development teams to release software. The goal is to improve both code quality and developer speed, helping teams deliver features quicker and stay competitive.

Trunk Launches Ci Analytics For Github Actions

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Trunk, a toolkit that helps developers build and ship code faster, announces today the public launch of CI Analytics. This new product allows engineers to analyze, monitor, fix and improve their workflows in GitHub Actions, adding to Trunk’s overall toolkit.It’s difficult for one engineer to keep tabs on the performance aspect of every job in the system or run proper experiments to understand how CI workflows could impact real world performance. Backed by Initialized and a16z with $28.5 million in funding, Trunk was launched in 2021 to create a holistic developer experience toolkit. Trunk CI Analytics builds on that mission by offering teams a complete picture of their GitHub Actions with recent and historical views of their workflows, allowing them to easily validate which pieces of their CI system are healthy or in need of investigation.“ With CI Analytics, we’re pulling back the curtain on the CI blackbox. Without a proper engineering intelligence solution, DevOps and engineering teams are left operating in the dark and engineers are left to guess at what parts of their build and test workflows are slowing down engineering. Trunk CI Analytics eliminates the guesswork with beautiful trend lines, anomaly alerting, and the ability to perform deep historical analysis within a few clicks
