Case Study: Pixiv achieves faster, automated mobile builds with Bitrise

Bringing creators together with pixiv

Pixiv, the global online community for creators with more than 50 million monthly users and a 170‑person company (about 100 developers), struggled with duplicated iOS and Android implementations, poor cross‑team communication, and slow developer cycles. Their Jenkins setup required local devices, VPN access and manual Xcode updates, so Pixiv adopted Bitrise’s continuous integration and delivery platform to streamline cross‑platform mobile builds and automation.

Bitrise was fully integrated into Pixiv’s workflow by January 2018 and now builds every app; combined with a custom "Comment on GitHub Pull Request" integration, the platform enabled Pixiv to run over 300 builds per week across 21+ apps. Bitrise eliminated manual maintenance and cumbersome device/VPN steps, accelerated testing and deployment, and let developers focus on shipping creator‑facing features.
