Summary

Rightmove, a leading property platform in the UK, transitioned from its outdated CI/CD setup to Bitrise's mobile-first platform to support its growing mobile user base. The previous system was cumbersome and required significant maintenance, posing challenges during the pandemic and risking disruptions due to power issues. Bitrise's platform, favored for its mobile-specific capabilities and ease of integration, transformed Rightmove's development process, enabling faster, more reliable builds and reducing the time spent on infrastructure management. The migration to Bitrise was smooth and allowed the team to focus more on product features and innovation rather than infrastructure issues. The switch significantly decreased testing and build times, improved team efficiency, and enhanced the ability to experiment with new tools and processes. This change has not only improved operational efficiency but also provided the mobile team with greater independence and flexibility, allowing them to deliver features more swiftly and maintain a balance between feature delivery and security.
