Hey Platform Engineer 👋
Standardize best practices across all teams with programmable workflows that help your team establish policy-as-code.
Adopting workflow automation will help your team:
Alleviate developer toil and context switching
Enforce merge standards across all repositories
Actively improve code quality and developer efficiency
Your PR Review Process is Clogging your Delivery Pipeline
Platform engineers are tasked with streamlining the SDLC. But most engineering organizations do not have the mechanisms in place to help them create enforceable merge standards for their teams.
Merge policy inconsistency leads to:
Varying levels of code quality that lead to more bugs
Longer cycle times and decreased efficiency
Increased cognitive load for developers
Poor collaboration across teams
Workflow Automation is the Secret to Scaling Developer Efficiency
Engineering teams love LinearB because it helps them actively improve dev teams with two workflow automation tools:
gitStream is a workflow automation tool that sends
PRs down unique paths based on policy-as-code.
WorkerB is a chatbot that automates many of the
pre-merge manual tasks developers hate.

Policy-As-Code
Get visibility into when sensitive changes are made and assign reviewers from the security team without creating noise.
Ensure the highest quality review for high-risk code with these gitStream rules:
Code Experts: Identify and assign reviewers based on knowledge
2 Reviewers: Require 2 reviewers for major changes
High-Risk Tags: Let the security team take the reins on sensitive code
Missing Tags: Flag PRs without tests

Workflow automation drives compliance and best practice behavior on dev teams.
With team notifications (WorkerB) and PR routing (gitStream), you can now:
Create enforceable merge standards across your org
Construct a rules-based merge process
Manage PRs based on the content of the code
Enforce security best practices

gitStream adds context to PRs with labels and comments so platform engineers can make informed decisions about how to prioritize and plan their day.
This way, your team can answer the following questions at-a-glance:
What PR is this for?
Is this a change related to security?
How many minutes is this going to take to review?

Programmable workflows help dev teams combine policy-as-code, automation, and context-rich notifications to streamline the PR process.
Teams can use gitStream and WorkerB in tandem to:
Create JIRA tickets for undocumented pull requests
Require 2+ approvals for complex PRs
Approve safe PRs with just one click
“LinearB workflow automation gives us confidence in where we’re headed, how efficient the team is operating, and if we’re responding to issues and errors.”
