Case Study: BuzzFeed achieves faster, more reliable mobile builds with Bitrise

BuzzFeed switches from Jenkins to Bitrise for fast and reliable stack updates

BuzzFeed, the US-based digital media leader with 900+ employees and 12 dedicated mobile developers, wanted to improve its mobile development process so it could build new experiences faster and support its loyal audience. Its legacy mix of Jenkins and CircleCI caused slow, manual, and unreliable iOS and Android builds, with long waits for releases and flaky tests that made experimentation difficult.

Bitrise helped BuzzFeed migrate to a more reliable mobile CI/CD setup, including Bitrise Pipelines and Bitrise Insights, with a straightforward transition and better build organization and test visibility. As a result, BuzzFeed cut build times from over 30 minutes to as little as 5 minutes in some cases, improved unit test reliability, gained faster access to new mobile releases, and achieved an 83% faster build time overall.
