Amplitude ships 3x more production code with Cursor

Amplitude's engineering team has significantly enhanced its software development process by integrating Cursor's cloud-based automation agents, which streamline the journey from feature ideas to production with minimal developer intervention. These agents autonomously manage a range of tasks, from investigating customer-reported issues in Slack to opening tickets and implementing code fixes, thereby speeding up response times and reducing manual workload. The transition from local to cloud agents has allowed for better parallelism, autonomy, and resource management, resulting in a threefold increase in weekly production commits. The implementation of Bugbot, an agentic review layer, has improved code review efficiency by automatically handling low-risk pull requests and accurately identifying complex bugs. Additionally, Amplitude has automated legacy code refactoring using cursor automations, which continuously run in the background, thus optimizing the codebase without interrupting other tasks. With these advancements, Amplitude aims to further extend automation into the latter stages of the development lifecycle, including CI/CD pipelines and deployment, to achieve a fully autonomous development pipeline.
