Linear

Each of these is a real decision Linear is working through, written so you can make the call yourself — incomplete information, someone who pushes back, no answer key.

Linear has an existing self-serve business and is layering a product-led sales motion on top of it. Linear has an agent platform that allows third parties to bring agents into the core Linear experience as teammates. Linear offers an extensive, widely used GraphQL API and SDK. Linear's software is built in TypeScript end-to-end. The frontend uses React, MobX, and styled-components, and the backend runs on Node, Postgres, Temporal, and Redis. Linear runs a proprietary websocket data sync framework built for speed and offline support. Linear is hosted on Google Cloud with k8s.

Commit triage controls before urgent work stays buried
