Our take
Software and web development used to be a slow and steady process, but these days developers must rapidly develop new features if they are to keep up with the competition. Coding like this inevitably leads to bugs, resulting in time-consuming testing processes.
Whilst many enterprises employ large teams of programmers to keep afloat during rapid feature development, Trunk has recognized the inefficiencies this causes and has presented a much simpler and concise solution. Its offering leverages automation to run formatters, spell checkers, linters, and static analyzers to facilitate a frictionless coding and merging process in C++, GitHub Actions, JS, and other languages.
Trunk has attracted funding from Andreessen Horowitz and is backed by an experienced ex-Uber/Google founding team. The company continues to develop its tools to serve any project whether by a hobbyist or large, enterprise engineering team.
