Apr 8, 2025 · 20:56
Beyang Liu, CTO of Sourcegraph, and Bruno Passos, Group PM at Booking.com, explain how their partnership built AI coding agents that deliver measurable ROI in enterprise software development. Booking.com, with 3,000 developers handling 250,000 merge requests and 2.5 million CI jobs yearly, used Sourcegraph's Cody and custom agents to automate code migration and review, cutting cycle times. They report that daily Cody users ship 30% more pull requests and are 30% faster, with lighter MRs. Agents like a GraphQL generator for a million-token schema and a code review tool with customizable rules emerged from joint hackathons. Bruno emphasizes education as critical: training turned skeptical developers into daily users, driving adoption and productivity gains. The goal is to shift-left compliance and reduce tech debt, making the SDLC self-healing.
