Cirrus CI is shutting down: moving to Bitrise Build Hub is your best option

Cirrus CI will cease operations on June 1, 2026, prompting users to migrate their workflows, particularly those using .cirrus.yml files, within eight weeks. Bitrise Build Hub emerges as a recommended alternative, offering enhanced performance with 54% faster Mac builds and 31% faster Android builds, supported by industry-leading machine specifications. It provides a vertically integrated DevOps platform that includes Xcode, Gradle, and Bazel caching, along with mobile release management automation, which significantly reduces build times. ForeFlight's experience with GitHub runners, which led to memory crashes, underscores the reliability and pricing advantages of Build Hub. Additionally, Bitrise's platform supports AI-generated code at production scale, offering comprehensive mobile DevOps solutions such as automated TestFlight delivery, phased Google Play releases, and performance insights. With Cirrus Labs shifting focus to OpenAI's Agent Infrastructure team, Bitrise Build Hub presents itself as a viable long-term solution for both human and AI-driven development workflows.
