Case Study: Life360 achieves faster, more controlled iOS builds with MacStadium Orka

Life360 boosts iOS build workload 4x with MacStadium

Life360, a mobile app for family safety and connectivity, faced significant challenges with their iOS development pipeline. Their previous CIaaS solution lacked control, offering slow and unreliable virtual machines that felt like a black box. This lack of control over build agents was costing the team time and money, prompting them to seek a more robust and scalable solution from MacStadium.

MacStadium implemented its Orka solution to give Life360 unparalleled control over their build environment. The engineering team gained the ability to quickly spin up and customize VMs to their exact specifications, drastically increasing build speeds and reliability. As a result, MacStadium's Orka enabled Life360 to efficiently scale its operations; the workload supported per developer has tripled or even quadrupled, allowing the team to support its growing number of engineers and continuously enhance its app.
