FAQ
What was the rationale behind Incredibuild acquiring Garden?
The acquisition gets Incredibuild closer to the vision of accelerating the entire software development lifecycle from dev to deployment. Incredibuild focused on high-performance C++ apps like games and simulations, Garden brings expertise in Cloud-native apps and K8s.
What are the key advantages over competing solutions?
In addition to Garden’s unmatched CI acceleration, it also provides easy pipeline onboarding & maintenance. Adding, removing, or changing builds, tests, and services is easy without breaking existing workflows
What is Garden and how does it help devops?
Garden is a CI acceleration platform that makes CI pipelines faster, easier, and smarter. It uses graph-aware caching, instant production-like environments, and simplified onboarding to streamline cloud-native app development.
What pain does Garden solve?
Slow CI pipelines due to repeated processes, congested staging environments, difficult to manage pipelines, and devs who can’t test in production-like environments – leading to “push-and-pray” and increased bugs.
How does Garden’s caching work?
Garden uses automatic dependency-aware versioning and caching to eliminate redundant builds and test runs across the entire pipeline. This cuts wait times, reduces resource usage, saves costs, and increases deployment frequency.
What benefits does Garden provide for CI pipelines?
Garden’s intelligent caching accelerates pipelines by skipping unnecessary steps. Its unified framework simplifies pipeline maintenance and onboarding.
Can you explain Garden’s “production-like environments”?
Garden allows developers to spin up on-demand, isolated production-like environments for accurate testing, debugging, and collaboration before code is pushed – whether in CI or locally.
How does Garden integrate with existing CI tools?
You don’t need a new CI engine. Garden works seamlessly with your current CI/CD workflows and tools to make them faster and smarter through caching, environments, and simplified configuration.
