Faire doubles PR throughput with Cursor Cloud Agents

Faire significantly improved its engineering workflow by utilizing Cursor's cloud agents, which allowed for scaled parallelization and greater autonomy in handling tasks traditionally managed by engineers. This shift enabled Faire to double its PR throughput, reduce an 18-month migration project to a few months managed by a single engineer, and automate over 2,000 agent runs weekly, saving considerable manual effort in processes such as bug triaging, PR auto-healing, and code review routing. Faire transitioned from an in-house system to Cursor due to its integration capabilities, reliable agent management, and seamless local-to-cloud operations, which enhanced agent autonomy by providing configured development environments. This change facilitated complex migrations and tasks, like converting applications from MobX to React and setting up build previews much faster than anticipated. The outcome is a significant increase in engineering output, pushing the company to explore similar automation benefits across other product development areas.
