Bitrise

“It took a few weeks to move everything over and port our jobs to GitHub Actions, but we didn't see any service disruption or performance degradation during the migration or after it.”

“Previously our focus was always on keeping the lights on and keeping our build agents up to date and consistent. Since moving to Bitrise, and now Build Hub, all of that has gone away. It handles the critical but time-consuming work, which has really unlocked the creativity and potential of our DevOps engineers.”

“When Bitrise Build Hub became available, we wanted to get on it as soon as possible. As more teams across the business adopt GitHub Actions, it's been a huge boon to have that Mac infrastructure already in place. Teams can migrate without having to rely on the more expensive GitHub-hosted runners or self-host and maintain their own infrastructure.”

“We took a step back to really think about what we needed. We didn't want to change our CI system, but we did want to standardize on GitHub Actions in line with the rest of the company. We also wanted to stop managing infrastructure so we could scale more easily and rely on a platform we could trust.”

“The GitHub-hosted Mac runners were not a good fit for our use case. We just couldn’t get them to work consistently and, on top of that, cost was also an issue.”

“We were thinking ahead to where we wanted to be in a few years' time, and Bitrise felt like the right move. By the end of this year we'll have about 50 build agents in Bitrise. There's no way our setup before Bitrise would have allowed us to scale as we have today.”

“Our failure mode isn't just an annoyed or frustrated user. It could be a pilot missing a weather alert or another safety-critical notification. That’s why release discipline is so important for us.”

“We were constantly troubleshooting issues around changes not appearing in CI in a timely fashion, and we just couldn't figure out why. We worked with TeamCity's support team, but they couldn't solve it either. The mobile focus and expertise just wasn't there, and that was a real problem for us.”

“Essentially we had little more than a closet in our office repurposed as a Mac Mini data center, which clearly wasn’t sustainable.”

“Adopting Build Hub hasn’t just made our builds faster, it’s fundamentally changed how our team operates. CI is no longer a constraint for us. It's a foundation we can rely on and build the future on.”

“The support is excellent. Onboarding is seamless, and the pricing structure is competitive. The capabilities you get with Bitrise far surpass anything else out there. It’s the culmination of all these key things that makes it an easy choice.”

“Every minute matters when it comes to big events like the Super Bowl. With Bitrise, we can get fixes and improvements out quickly and feel confident everything is ready to go, which is super important,”

“With Bitrise, it just works. There’s much less stress day to day, which is huge. If no one’s talking about pipeline issues, that’s a great sign,”

“The biggest win has been the improvement in developer experience. The speed and ease of use really stood out, and even those new to CI/CD can quickly self-serve,”

“One of the main reasons we moved to Bitrise was to let engineers focus on building features and improving the experience, without worrying about pipelines and distribution. Bitrise handles most of that now,”

“Faster builds mean we can get releases into customers’ hands sooner, which is critical.”

“Bitrise has let us shift the focus away from the day-to-day processes to the customer’s needs, which has been incredibly valuable. It’s something I don’t think we would have found with another provider.”

“I have been really impressed by Bitrise's evolution. Every time we meet with the team, we hear about new features and products designed to solve our problems and help us build faster, such as Release Management and Build Caching. All this innovation shows it's a strong product, and they really care about the developer experience. Bitrise doesn't just focus on getting things up and running; it also works to make developers' lives easier by solving the many challenges they face every day. That's great news for us here at BuzzFeed.”

“We talk about builds a lot less. We no longer have to explain last-minute delays to our stakeholders or why we can't release because we're waiting on a build server update. With Bitrise, we have the confidence that no news is definitely good news.”

“The biggest win has been the boost in build speed. With Bitrise, our build times have dropped from over 30 minutes to as little as 5 in some cases. Now, I can kick off a build, grab a coffee, and come back, and it’s done. The whole process is much more straightforward and predictable. I can focus on one thing at a time, which is every developer’s dream.”

“Previously, we would spend time debating why a test failed multiple times—it was a guessing game. Now, with Bitrise Insights, all the data is at our fingertips. I can just go in, find the test, get the exact failure percentage, and then work on improving that. It’s transformed our approach to testing.”

“Moving to Bitrise’s hosted solution took just a simple configuration change. The UI is excellent—so straightforward that even our non-technical teams can now easily install builds,”

“We selected Bitrise because of its strong mobile focus and reputation for providing fast access to the latest mobile releases. It checked all the boxes we were looking for and more.”

“The biggest win has been the boost in build speed. With Bitrise, our build times have dropped from over 30 minutes to as little as 5 in some cases. Now, I can kick off a build, grab a coffee, and come back, and it’s done.”

“We’re exploring Bitrise MCP so our AI can talk directly to Bitrise, collect information automatically and become part of our AI workflow, helping us create a much more automated engineering ecosystem.”
