Trunk.io provides a platform that enhances code quality while maintaining developer speed in the software development market. Its main product is a tool for managing code repositories, which allows developers to store and share their code. A key feature of this tool is the parallel merge queues, enabling multiple code changes to be merged at the same time, thus speeding up the development process. This sets Trunk.io apart from competitors that typically handle merges sequentially. The primary users of Trunk.io are software developers and businesses with in-house development teams, who benefit from improved code quality and faster development cycles. The company's goal is to help clients release products more quickly and stay competitive in the market, operating on a subscription-based model for access to its services.
