You don't have to choose between GitHub and Bitrise

When evaluating Bitrise as an addition to GitHub Actions for mobile app teams, it's important to consider the unique demands of mobile CI/CD, which often exceed GitHub Actions' capabilities. Bitrise offers three integration tiers with GitHub, each tailored to different organizational priorities such as standardization, migration effort, and mobile-specific tooling. While GitHub provides a unified platform for development with benefits like integration simplicity and governance, it can fall short for mobile needs due to infrastructure limitations and slower build times. Bitrise addresses these gaps by offering faster builds, specialized mobile support, and tools like a Workflow Editor and Release Management. The integration options range from using Bitrise infrastructure with GitHub Actions, proxying Bitrise through GitHub Actions, to fully utilizing Bitrise's platform via the GitHub App. These options allow organizations to balance GitHub's general-purpose platform with Bitrise's mobile-specific advantages, ensuring improved developer productivity and streamlined mobile app releases.
