Summary

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of high-quality mobile applications, with companies facing challenges such as maintaining user experience, reducing costs, and increasing speed. Bitrise, a company that enables developers to work faster and produce higher-quality applications, has introduced its second-generation build infrastructure (Gen2), which aims to improve build performance and speed up builds by up to 50% on macOS. Gen2 is built on a new hypervisor, newer hardware, and a more efficient orchestration system, providing faster Virtual Machines boot-up times, improved vCPU and memory allocation, and better consistency in build time. The new infrastructure is designed to be future-proof, secure, and reliable, with backwards compatibility with the previous generation. Gen2 is now available for customers on select plans, and Bitrise continues to improve its infrastructure to meet customer expectations.
