The Development Environment Bottleneck
Time is what we want most, but what we use worst — William Penn
A mid-sized SaaS company with 30 developers calculated they wasted 21 hours per day across the team just waiting for environment setup. Each developer needed 30-45 minutes daily for environment configuration issues. That's 525 hours monthly—equivalent to 3 full-time engineers doing nothing but fighting infrastructure instead of shipping features. The cost: $150K+ annually in wasted developer time, not counting delayed features and missed market opportunities.
The Problem
Development teams waste 21+ hours every day waiting for environments. Manual setup requires DevOps intervention, multiple tickets, and days of waiting. By the time staging is ready, requirements have changed. This bottleneck kills velocity—61% of teams report environment provisioning as their major deployment roadblock. One in four organizations takes three-plus months from code complete to production deployment because environments can't keep pace.
- Manual setup requires DevOps tickets creating 2-3 day delays
- Each developer configures environments differently creating inconsistencies
- Onboarding new developers takes 1-2 weeks just for environment setup
- Context switching while waiting for environments kills productivity
- DevOps teams become bottleneck handling provisioning requests
Instant Provisioning with Infrastructure Cloning
Rediacc provisions complete development environments in under 60 seconds through automated infrastructure cloning. Developers trigger environment creation directly from Git branches without tickets or manual intervention. The platform replicates your entire production stack—applications, databases, configurations, network topology, dependencies—as exact copies. Ephemeral environments automatically clean up when branches merge, preventing infrastructure waste. DevOps teams define provisioning rules once, then developers self-serve infinitely.
- Provision complete environments in 60 seconds vs 2-3 days of waiting
- Zero DevOps intervention—developers self-service from Git workflows
- Automatic Git integration creates environments per branch automatically
- Ephemeral architecture saves 40-70% on infrastructure costs
- Onboard new developers in hours not weeks
