85% say code review is the new bottleneck. Here’s what the AI coding narrative leaves out.
TL;DR
Code reviews are increasingly seen as a bottleneck in software development, with 85% of engineers identifying this issue. The lack of clear contracts around code merges leads to uncertainty about what is guaranteed by a green checkmark on a pull request (PR).
✦ Why It Matters
Establish clear documentation for code merges to ensure all teams understand the guarantees of a successful PR.
Key Takeaways
- Define a clear merge contract for your team.
- Implement ephemeral environments for real-time testing.
- Shift validation processes to occur before merging.
- Monitor PR volume and adjust review processes accordingly.
How It Works
The article describes a new infrastructure model where only the services changed by a PR are deployed in a shared environment. This allows for rapid validation against a production-like system, ensuring that each change is tested in isolation without duplicating the entire stack.
