Meet Aviator: HackerNoon Company of the Week
Meet Aviator, the YC-backed developer tools company helping teams review, merge, and ship code, plus three Proof of Usefulness projects.
Aviator is a company that specializes in AI developer workflow automation, helping large engineering teams to efficiently ship AI-generated code quickly and safely. Founded by former Google engineers in 2021, Aviator aims to provide engineering infrastructure suitable for teams of all sizes. The company offers a range of tools to streamline the software development lifecycle, including MergeQueue for automating pull request merging, Team Reviews for routing code to appropriate reviewers, Verify for checking code changes against acceptance criteria and team rules, and Releases for managing deployments, rollbacks, and related tasks.
With AI coding assistants generating code at a rapid pace, Aviator's infrastructure has become increasingly relevant. The company has garnered attention from notable tech firms such as Slack, Figma, Notion, Square, and DoorDash. Aviator's CEO, Ankit Jain, has also discussed the importance of rethinking traditional code reviews in the age of AI, suggesting that engineers should prioritize verifying code functionality over line-by-line inspection.
Aviator has published three relevant articles on HackerNoon, including "Stacked PRs: Rethinking Code Reviews," "New From Aviator: The Calculator Assessing Engineering Efficiency," and "Deployments: The Irrational Fear of Them." The company welcomes other businesses to join HackerNoon's Business Blogging Program to share their expertise with a global audience of tech enthusiasts, developers, and decision-makers.
