Built on strong foundations
Obvious is so simple to use, it's easy to overlook the wealth of complex technologies packed under the hood that keep Obvious robust, safe, and blazing fast.

Obvious just shipped a write-up on their CI engine. 200 cores, ZFS snapshots, tests in 30s. Built by their own AI in a day. The meta is getting interesting.

The Agentic Workflows post from Obvious is worth reading if you're thinking about LLM-native CI. The safe-outputs constraint idea is sharp.

500 PRs a day managed by AI, with a <1hr review SLA enforced by tooling. The orchestration layer writeup explains how they actually pull this off.

Branded primitive types cutting AI-generated type errors to near-zero at 6k PRs/project. The Obvious type safety post has practical patterns you can lift today.

The working memory document pattern from Obvious's memory & context post is the clearest solution I've seen to long-running agent session drift. Stealing this.

Closed-loop agents that test their own UI changes with sprite sequences. Obvious keeps shipping ideas I didn't know I needed.
