Case Study: Fetch reduces build times and flaky tests with Bitrise

Reducing build times with M1 and a mission to reduce flaky tests with Bitrise Insights

Fetch, the number one rewards app and consumer-engagement platform, needed a mobile-first DevOps solution to support rapid growth, improve release reliability, and reduce manual, error-prone build and test work. As its iOS team scaled to millions of monthly users, Fetch turned to Bitrise, including Bitrise Insights, to help manage CI, track failures, and identify flaky tests.

With Bitrise, Fetch automated its mobile delivery process and moved to Mac M1 machines in CI, which cut main unit test workflow build times by 10 minutes, a 45% reduction. Overall, build times dropped from 50+ minutes to 26 minutes, test times were reduced by 50%, and release cadence improved from every 2+ weeks to weekly.
