Inside Bitso’s Branch-Based Workflow

Bitso, a leading digital financial services provider in Latin America, enhanced its development workflow by implementing a Robust Isolated Staging Environment (RISE) to tackle challenges posed by its extensive engineering team and complex microservices architecture. Initially, shared development and staging environments led to bottlenecks and unreliable testing as hundreds of engineers made simultaneous changes. By adopting Signadot for service isolation and Neon for database branching, Bitso allowed engineers to work in isolated, production-like sandboxes, each with its own Postgres instance, enabling safer testing of changes without affecting others. This setup significantly improved development efficiency by ensuring that each change is validated in its dedicated environment, with the tested artifact being the one deployed to production, thus enhancing the predictability and reliability of deployments.
