Beam
Beam Ships 12 Product Updates a Week After Rebuilding Its CI Pipeline.
The problem
Beam already had a live product and a metric that had stopped moving. The brief was specific: Beam Ships 12 Product Updates a Week After Rebuilding Its CI Pipeline. We started from that constraint, not a deck of adjacent ideas.
What we built
A senior squad sat on Beam only — shared Slack, staging from week one, Friday demos. In the developer tools work we put the platform in front of the people who suffer it. CI, cost, and observability work only counts if a team will use it on a Tuesday.
The result
The engagement landed at 12 deploys / week and 5 min pr to prod. Same people through launch. Most of these relationships continue as a dedicated team rather than a clean break.
