ON 1,145 PULL REQUESTS PER DAY

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Stripe did an average of 1,145 pull requests per day in 2024 while having less than a minute of API unreliability for the entire year. The company is likely in the top 1% in software delivery performance. It has a very demanding but advanced engineering culture with a relentless focus on continuously shipping value for users. Shipping safely at this velocity and scale implies heavy investment in automated tests, deployments, rollbacks, observability, code ownership, and other areas.
