Solution

Kong uses FlyCode on its applications to allow content writers and the product team to edit text across applications without a developer in the loop. Content consistency and speed of delivery are core to the company’s product experience.

The team at Kong was able to connect FlyCode to their GitHub organization instantly with no integration.

The team uses FlyCode for texts that are hard-coded in their code and texts managed in translation files to ship products faster and better serve their users.

Results 🚀

For each change made with FlyCode, Kong estimates that it is saving around 2.5 hours of Kong’s Product and Engineering teams on collaboration, changing texts, approving the changes and creating the pull requests to push the changes. As a result, the company has been able to save dozens of development hours every month for content changes across all applications with Flycode

"At Kong we love to collaborate and iterate very fast. FlyCode is enabling our product and design teams to collaborate on text changes and proposed code changes. Then our CICD automation deploys to dev and production all without needing engineering help. It has been great working together with the Flycode team and we are looking forward to continuing working closely together.”
