Summary

Mobile app developers prioritize speed due to customer expectations, which translates to relentless pressure to reduce build times and drive efficiency. To overcome this challenge, developers can utilize various strategies such as using a solid CI/CD platform, automating test processes, and applying optimization techniques like build caching and parallelization. However, even with these measures, processing power limitations can still hinder build speed. Fortunately, Bitrise's latest Linux machines offer a solution to this challenge by providing more powerful hardware, including the AMD EPYC Zen4 processor, which enables faster build and compilation times, smoother Emulator performance, better debugging and profiling, and improved UI rendering and testing. The new machine lineup has been tested with customers, resulting in significant build speed increases, and offers a tiered pricing structure to ensure optimal cost-performance balance.
