Apica, an emerging leader in telemetry pipeline and observability cost optimization, dramatically improved its engineering velocity by adopting Bito’s AI Code Review Agent—achieving 83% faster pull request cycles and saving up to 50 minutes per pull request (PR) review.
Apica’s engineering team, split between modern observability development and legacy product maintenance, faced a growing bottleneck: Too many contributors and not enough reviewers. With 12–15 developers submitting PRs daily and only 2–3 reviewers available, review cycles slowed, and critical bugs risked slipping through.
The Solution
Apica turned to Bito after evaluating multiple AI code review tools, including CodeRabbit and Qodo. Bito stood out for its ability to:
Flag issues before human review, reducing back-and-forth cycles.
Provide clear, structured feedback and summaries that accelerated second reviews.
Detect hard-to-spot bugs like duplicate logic and inefficient queries.
Support both GitHub and Bitbucket environments—critical for Apica’s cross-platform teams.
Offer responsive, hands-on support that helped Apica scale adoption quickly.
Results
530+ PRs reviewed
271,780+ lines of code analyzed
330+ issues flagged by Bito
54.1% acceptance rate of Bito’s suggestions
83% faster PR cycles
Critical bugs caught before production
“Bito gives targeted, context-aware feedback that reduces the load on reviewers and improves overall quality. It’s a valuable part of our daily development workflow.”
3–5x faster PRs: Before Bito, reviewing a PR could take an hour or more. Now, submitters fix most issues before a human reviewer sees the code. This means reviewers spend only 10 to 20 minutes on most PRs, even for large ones.
“Before Bito, some PRs stayed open for over a week. Now, submitters fix most issues before I even see the code, and reviews often take just 10 to 20 minutes instead of an hour.”
As an enterprise focused on simplifying telemetry pipelines and controlling observability costs, Apica understands the importance of operational efficiency. Bito’s AI-powered review agent helped Apica’s engineering team maintain high code quality while accelerating delivery—without increasing headcount or compromising standards.
About Apica
Apica is an emerging leader in observability cost optimization, helping IT teams gain complete control over their telemetry data economics. The Apica Ascent solution processes all observability data types—metrics, logs, traces, and events—while reducing costs by up to 40% compared to traditional approaches.
Unlike platforms that lock users into proprietary formats, Apica offers true flexibility: Deploy anywhere (cloud or on-prem), integrate with existing tools, and eliminate tool sprawl through modular solutions. Built to handle high-cardinality data that overwhelms competitors, Ascent includes the patented InstaStore™ storage technology for infinite retention and advanced root cause analysis as well as core Synthetic Monitoring capabilities.
Apica is the anti-vendor-lock-in telemetry solution—designed to optimize existing investments, not replace them. For more information, visit www.apica.io.
