How can we create faster feedback loops for developers and AI agents?
We spent years optimizing our cloud Continuous Integration (CI) runs by improving caching, upgrading hardware, and streamlining pipelines. But even with builds down to 5-7 minutes, the feedback loop still felt too slow.
By bringing CI back to developer machines for accelerated feedback loops, we were able to:
- Deliver feedback while developers were still in flow
- Enable AI agents to iterate against nearly every CI check locally
- Reduce cloud infrastructure overhead and worker allocation delays
- Unify local and cloud workflows with a shared bin/ci command introduced by Rails 8.1
The result: faster iteration, fewer interruptions, and more confidence before code ever reaches the cloud.
