TRACTIAN

TRACTIAN builds software and hardware solutions that help industrial teams prevent machine failures, protect production, and improve operational uptime. As the engineering organization scaled its Flutter development, the team needed stronger linting and better guardrails to reduce repeated review issues, standardize implementation patterns, and help new developers ramp up faster.

DCM became part of that workflow by giving developers immediate feedback during development and helping the team enforce consistent patterns before code reached review.

"Using DCM has helped us reduce the number of review cycles, enforce better standardization across the codebase through linting, reduce code review time, and speed up developer onboarding."

— Fernando Moraes, Flutter Engineer, TRACTIAN

Challenge

TRACTIAN faced several common Flutter linting challenges.

Developers were repeating the same mistakes across multiple code review cycles and pull requests. Flutter also offers many different ways to implement the same thing, which can easily lead to inconsistency when teams do not have strict linting rules in place.

t the same time, PR reviews were carrying too much of the burden. Reviewers had to manually cover a large number of topics, which made reviews slower and less focused. Onboarding new developers also took longer because many team rules and expectations were not enforced automatically by tooling.

Solution

TRACTIAN adopted DCM to strengthen its Flutter linting workflow and move more feedback earlier into development.

Instead of relying on PR reviews to catch repeated issues, the team uses DCM to enforce expected patterns directly in the codebase. That helps standardize how Flutter code is written and reduces the number of issues that need to be discussed manually during review.

Because developers get immediate feedback while coding, DCM also helps new team members learn project expectations faster and with less back-and-forth.

Impact

With DCM in place, TRACTIAN reduced repeated mistakes across PRs and shortened review cycles.

The team improved standardization across the codebase through linting, reduced code review time by enforcing many expected patterns, and helped developers ramp up faster by providing immediate feedback directly in their workflow.

Most importantly, DCM helped shift code quality from a manual review burden into a more scalable and consistent engineering practice.
