Build performance visualization SaaS

Create a cloud service that visualizes build processes across different languages and toolchains. Help developers optimize compilation times.

Why now

As projects grow more complex, build optimization becomes critical but tools remain primitive.

Engineering teams
Business model

A few weeks

Modern software projects often have complex, slow build processes that developers struggle to optimize.

A SaaS that ingests build logs and generates interactive visualizations would help identify bottlenecks. It could support multiple build systems (Bun, Webpack, etc) and suggest optimizations.

Engineering teams would pay to reduce CI/CD costs and developer wait times.

The MVP could process Bun build logs and show simple timeline visualizations.

The main risk is competing with existing profiling tools in each ecosystem.
