🔍 How We Keep Our Codebase Stable at Playrix We're continuing our series on how development processes are organized at Playrix. Today, let’s talk about how we maintain a green master—a stable codebase that keeps development smooth and ensures game quality. 💡 Why does this matter? With hundreds developers working on a game across iOS, Android, Windows, Mac OS, and Web, keeping the codebase stable is no small feat. But at Playrix, this process is well-structured, standardized, and optimized.  Our Multi-Level Quality Control System 1️⃣ The First Checkpoint: Pre-commit Hooks Before any changes are made, we run automated static checks. These take just 10 seconds on average, allowing developers to catch and fix issues before creating a pull request. 2️⃣ Pull Requests & Testing Budget Once the pre-commit checks pass, a pull request is created—but merging it into the main branch is blocked until a full round of builds is completed. These builds verify that the game runs smoothly across platforms and must fit within a 1-hour budget. Initially, this process took 2 hours, but we've optimized it to 40 minutes for most cases. 3️⃣ AI + Code Review Every change goes through an AI assistant, which scans for potential issues. Then, a human reviewer assesses the code for scalability, clarity, and long-term maintainability. 4️⃣ Nightly Checks & Auto-Detection of Bugs Even after a merge, the verification process isn’t over. Nightly quality gates run additional tests that wouldn’t fit into the pull request budget. If an issue is detected, an automated bisect identifies the exact pull request that caused it and assigns a task to the responsible developer. The bottom line: Our multi-layered verification system allows us to ship high-quality games while maintaining speed and a great developer experience. 🚀 Want to work on systems like this?

At Playrix, we have an impressive  C++ community with more than 300 top-notch experts. But what makes Playrix an exciting place for C++ developers? We asked our teammates, and here’s what they said: 💡 Iuliia Golovchanskaia (Lead Programmer, Fishdom): “At Playrix, I’ve learned to be truly efficient. Here, it’s all about focusing on what matters most — staying on top of the game industry trends, mastering new technologies, and finding the best solutions to speed up event creation and ensure players enjoy them without delays. This mindset has shaped not just my work but my entire approach to life. I think faster, make decisions with confidence, and act with clarity. For the past 3 years, Playrix didn’t just level up my skills — it leveled up me.” 🔍 Alexey Vasilkov (Tech Lead, Engine Render Team): “It’s fascinating to see how even the simplest things can turn out to be incredibly complex and how challenging and rewarding it is to simplify and optimize them. After huge experience in AAA games I wasn’t sure about the challenges that mobile games development can offer to me, but I was totally wrong. I also love the strong professional community here and the fact that I get to work on so many R&D tasks. More to say, Playrix is a mature 20-year old company, but it hasn’t lost the startup spirit!” 🎮 Yakov Grischenko (Senior Programmer, Fishdom): “I write code knowing it becomes part of a world-famous game that’s polished in every aspect. Being surrounded by top-tier professionals? Priceless. And at Playrix, that’s exactly who we are. The company is fully invested in C++, making it the perfect place for me. Plus, the constant drive for innovation keeps us ahead of the curve and pushes me to keep growing.”

Recently we launched Carescapes — a charitable initiative that combined the anniversaries of our globally renowned games, Gardenscapes and Homescapes, with meaningful social and environmental impact 💚 It all started with a simple question: What would Austin the butler do in real life? He’d restore neglected spaces, improve the environment, care for pets, help people, and renovate homes. So that’s exactly what we did! We created a project that engaged not just our employees, but their families as well. Playrix employees had the opportunity to take part in offline activities across multiple cities or donate online from anywhere in the world — with the company doubling every donation. Together, we: ✅ Raised $35,000 to support elderly people, environmental projects, and animal welfare. ✅ Organized volunteer events in Ukraine, Georgia, Armenia, Cyprus, Serbia, and Kazakhstan — planting trees, cleaning public spaces, and helping animal shelters. ✅ Received amazing feedback from our team, with strong enthusiasm to keep this initiative growing. In 2025, Carescapes will expand even further, stay tuned. Austin wishes you all a fantastic week!

🌍 Every day, more than 30 million people around the globe play Playrix games. But have you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes to bring new features to life? We’re launching a series of posts about game development, and today we’re diving into Continuous Integration (CI). For a new feature to appear in your game, it goes through an extensive development process, during which its quality is continuously checked by automated CI pipeline. 🚀 Ever wondered how long it takes to compile a C++ project with millions of lines of code for both Android and iOS? At Playrix, we’ve optimized this process to just 6 minutes for Android and 5 minutes for iOS (!). On average, our Continuous Integration infrastructure handles up to 12,000 builds per day across 500+ active repositories. Every minute saved in build time means faster time to market and significant savings in resources on TeamCity and AWS, the backbone of our Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) infrastructure. 💡 Want to help us make builds even faster? Check out our open positions: https://lnkd.in/emSuQVs3. #Playrix  #PlayrixTech  #GameDevelopment #ContinuousIntegration #CICD
