Case Study: iFood achieves faster iOS and Android build times with MacStadium

iFood cuts build times by 75% with MacStadium

iFood, a major food delivery app in Brazil, faced significant challenges with slow iOS and Android build times using their third-party CI/CD solution. Seeking greater control and scalability, they partnered with MacStadium to test a new infrastructure using Jenkins on spare Mac minis, which showed promising results.

MacStadium implemented a custom Mac cloud solution utilizing bare metal Mac minis. This move resulted in a 45% improvement in iOS build times and a 35% improvement for Android. By further leveraging remote caching, iFood achieved an additional 50% improvement, leading to a total reduction in build times of up to 75%. MacStadium provided the scalable, high-performance infrastructure that allowed iFood to stabilize its pipelines and handle increased demand.
