Modernizing the code review process
for global scale
Delivery Hero embarked on a digital transformation journey with a clear, practitioner-led goal: to significantly improve developer satisfaction and refine the software development environment. The organization identified a strategic opportunity to elevate its code review process, ensuring that "feature bugs"—which can impact production stability—are caught early and efficiently.
Backed by strong executive sponsorship, the vision was to leverage Google's AI tools to modernize the entire software development life cycle (SDLC). Rather than focusing on manual fixes, the team aimed to adopt an AI-first approach with Google Gemini Code Assist. This shift allows engineers to move beyond routine tasks and focus on high-value challenges like scalability, security, and reusability, ultimately ensuring that the technology landscape evolves in step with the dynamic Q-Commerce industry.
Our engagement with AI was driven by a desire to enhance development and code review processes, and to boost developer satisfaction. By elevating the quality of code reviews, we anticipate a reduction in production incidents, allowing reviewers to dedicate their attention to more complex challenges.

Transforming workflows with Gemini Code Assist
and AI-driven DevOps
The primary learning confirmed AI's potential to assist code reviews, boost efficiency, and reduce 'Feature Bug' incidents that should be caught earlier. The pilot group's positive feedback and desire to 'keep it' underscore its high perceived value and future potential.

Delivery Hero successfully implemented the Google Gemini Code Assist GitHub App to augment its code review capabilities. This AI-powered tool serves as an intelligent assistant, automatically summarizing pull requests and providing in-depth reviews to identify potential improvements before they reach production.
The initiative launched with a structured pilot across eight verticals—including Consumer, Logistics, and FinTech—spanning 22 GitHub repositories. Beyond code reviews, the solution integrates a suite of AI tools, such as IDE assistants and internal knowledge bots, to facilitate a "shift-left" security model. By proactively identifying logic mistakes and vulnerabilities, the system helps produce higher-quality code from the start. This transformation enables the business to react faster to market changes and empowers developers to work more efficiently, fostering a culture of continuous innovation.
