About Replay.io

The Replay Browser executes your code, producing recordings that are processed in the cloud backend. This allows users to access the time-traveling debugger directly from their browsers. This approach offers a number of advantages, including the ability to easily shift debugging from a solo activity to a shared one.
Instead of sharing a stack trace link, Replay.io allows users to share entire debugging sessions. This enables creation of more detailed overviews through annotations on code segments or network calls. The outcome is faster, more insightful debugging of even the most pernicious bugs. What might have taken days to fix can be resolved in hours.

Hundreds Of Builds A Day

Brave has been on a journey to automate and improve their browser build process for years. Developing incrementally, building and running unit and integration tests takes engineers hours and requires context switching, making the feedback cycle slow. On top of that, hardware differs across developers and local builds are non-reproducible or not suitable for QA.
CUSTOMER STORY

EngFlow provided us with excellent support on how we could enable macOS and Windows chromium builds in remote execution. They also provided us with a dashboard where we can see detailed metrics around all of our builds, making it easy to see if a build issue is systemic or not.

Evolving With EngFlow

Crafting tools for developers is a challenge. Especially since everyone’s environment varies so much. Developers use a range of operating systems and generally push the boundaries of each and every system they use. Replay.io’s goal to design a complex solution that works in all these cases can seem almost impossible. Luckily, EngFlow has helped face down these challenges. The evolving partnership between EngFlow and Replay.io is the first step toward extended support for Replay.io’s Buck2 builds, marking another exciting stage in the collaboration.
CUSTOMER STORY

No matter what we are doing, no matter how crazy I think it sounds, EngFlow has always taken every challenge I have given them in stride, whether it was how old some of our software is or how custom we wanted our build tools to be.
