Beyond the cloud: Inside Bitrise's data center for faster mobile CI


Details
Join us for a behind-the-scenes look into how the Bitrise engineering team brought software and hardware together and built a vertically integrated, hybrid macOS/Linux private cloud in strategically located data centers to solve the biggest challenges of managing mobile CI/CD at scale.
As your mobile team grows, infrastructure complexity and headaches scale alongside them, including managing multiple rapidly changing CI environments, integrating caching to speed up iteration cycles, and skyrocketing cloud costs.
In this webinar, Arpad Kun, VP of Infrastructure and Engineering at Bitrise, will sit down with Solutions Architect Lex Zavala to reveal how our team addressed the pain points of traditional cloud-hosted CI and how Bitrise went all-in on a hybrid model—anchored in custom-built infrastructure.
What we’ll share:
- Vertical integration benefits: How complete control of hardware and software stacks translates to faster, more reliable builds for your team.
- Intelligent caching architecture: How placing cached artifacts on the same switch fabric as compute resources dramatically reduces build times for your workflows without breaking the bank with cloud egress costs.
- Remote Build Execution (RBE): How we implemented a sophisticated approach to distributing build tasks across multiple machines to accelerate build times.
- Carrier-class networking: The reliability of carrier-class network infrastructure, including our own AS number and provider-independent IP space.
- Purpose built architecture: How our physical infrastructure choices—like high-density server chassis housing for mac Minis—directly impact the performance and reliability of CI pipelines.
Whether you're a platform engineer, a mobile developer, or a CTO, this webinar offers valuable insights from an organization that's been through the trenches.
