Aviator

Aviator, previously known as Rsync and MergeQueue, is a company located in San Francisco, CA, specializing in developer productivity tools for the B2B engineering, product, and design sectors. Participating in Y-Combinator’s S21 batch, Aviator serves regions across the United States, Canada, and offers remote and partly remote services. The company introduced FlexReview, a dynamic system for managing code reviewer assignments, and raised $2.3M to reimagine developer productivity for scaling teams. Aviator helps engineering teams manage various challenges such as broken builds, slow code reviews, flaky tests, complex dependencies, and security compliance. It supports integration with any CI provider and source-control system, automating processes across the developer toolchain. Aviator’s scalable merge queue platform is compatible with any build tool like Bazel, NX, Pants, Turborepo, or Gradle and is designed for both small teams, offering free services for teams under 15 developers, and large enterprises, supporting teams of 1000+ developers with robust security, reliability, and scalability. The platform is SOC2 Type II certified, supports on-prem deployments, and offers real-time support over Slack and SAML-based authentication. Notable clients include Slack, Bosch, Lightspeed, Square, Benchling, and Figma, with Slack notably reducing their master-build failures from 180 per quarter to just one after implementing Aviator’s solutions. Aviator’s goal is to become the leading brand in developer experience, scaling developer workflows for creating, reviewing, testing, and merging code changes in large code repositories.
