What is Promyze ?
At Promyze, our motto is Connect Developers' Knowledge. We know that digital companies have to be successful in deliverying high-quality software. And we're convinced that a way to reach that purpose is to:
- help developers leverage their technical skills by learning from each other
- help developers align their coding practices to keep consistency in the code base
- improve the efficiency of code reviews and onboarding processes
- foster best practices reuse in an organization thanks to Inner Source values
- assist developers in following best practices in their source code
- avoid knowledge loss due to turnover
- support developers in suggesting new ideas and new best practices
We considered these motivations were convincing enough to create a software platform, and we called it Promyze !

Solutions like Confluence or Notion are great to manage content and documentation, but they're designed to be generic, and are used by various audiences: marketing, sales, developers, HR, ...
The consequence is they miss the specificities of our target users, software developers. While most of them used these tools, they met some drawbacks:
- Lack of integrations in IDEs and Code review tools
- Challenging to create best practices and make other developers aware of this.
- Complex to keep up-to-date
It's common to observe this pattern of outdated Wiki that almost nobody reads. Our goal was to design a new way to build shared knowledge, make best practices actionable, and push the right information to developers when they need them.
Even though pair/mob programming sessions are good practices to foster knowledge sharing, it's crucial to capitalize on the best practices implemented during these sessions. The mindset is to always wonder:
"What we're currently discussing about, would it be interesting for a new developers that joins the team tomorrow?"
It's not because you agreed on best practices right now that you'll remember them in 2 months. It's easy to record them with Promyze, so let's do this!
🚀
Capitalization is the key:
- If the team evolves, onboarding will be more efficient if best practices are available in Promyze
- If other teams in your company could be interested in your best practices, it will much more easy if they're available in Promyze
